Clik for sull'mmagine enlarge Prosecuted in 1947 for war crimes (Ardeatine, Marzabotto and other horrendous massacres of innocent people), Albert Kesselring (1885-1960), commander in chief of the armed forces of the German occupation in Italy, was sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. But in 1952, because of his "serious" health, he was set free. When he returned home he was greeted as a hero and a winner from the Bavarian neo-Nazi circles, which for 8 years was an active supporter. A few days after his return home Kesselring had the impudence to declare publicly that he had nothing to reproach himself, but - indeed - the Italians should be grateful to him for his behavior during the 18 months of occupation, so that they would do well to erect. a monument in his honor. In this impudent and offensive statement said Calamandrei Piero (1889-1956), lawyer, university lecturer and Constitutionalist Father, with a famous inscription (dated 12/04/1952, the eighth anniversary of the sacrifice of Duccio Galimberti), dictated for a plaque "to shame", located in the atrium of the Palazzo Comunale di Cuneo as a sign of undying protest for the future release of the Nazi criminal.
