The mayor of Marzabotto, a town near Bologna where the SS carried out their worst WWII atrocity, said Tuesday that Liberation Day on April 25 was divisive only for fascists.
    "April 25 is divisive for those who are fascists or have nostalgia for fascism, otherwise it is a holiday for all Italians, because it is a historical truth that all of Italy was liberated, giving freedom even to those who still have nostalgia for Mussolini," said Valentina Cuppi, illustrating the initiatives planned for 25 April on Monte Sole, the mountain in the Bolognese Apennines where the Nazis carried out a series of massacres from 29 September to 5 October 1944 that killed a total of 1,830 people.
