A neoFascist youth militant murdered
by leftist activists on Thursday got a new plaque at his old
school in Milan and a postage stamp showing a portrait of him on
the 50th anniversary of his killing.
Sergio Ramelli, a member of Fronte della Gioventù (Youth Front),
the youth wing of the neoFascist Italian Social Movement (MSI),
was brutally beaten by members of Avanguardia Operaia (Workers
Vanguard) on March 13, 1975, and died of his wounds on April 29
that year a few days before turning 19.
Leftwingers and leftwing students protested about the new plague
and the stamp accusing the government led by Giorgia Meloni's
Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, a conservative heir to the MSI,
of "propaganda and revisionism".
Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara dismissed these charges
and recalled that Ramelli had "died for his ideals".
Italy has issued stamps for other victims of the Years of Lead
of rightist and leftist terror from the late 1960s to the early
1980s.
