Week of literature in Bobbio, in the province of Piacenza Friday 23 lugilo I will be in Bobbio, in the province of Piacenza, to present the new edition of an important book: "1930: behind the scenes of a drama, written by Bianca Ceva, Party militant d 'action, partisan and sister of Umberto Ceva, a member of Justice and Liberty died in prison in 1930.
Bianca Ceva's book was published in 1955 by the publishing house of Milan Ceschina. A copy was given to me by Mimmo Franzinelli during research for my "Attack on the Trade Fair, Milan 1928", an episode which indirectly cost the lives of Umberto Ceva. Indeed
Ceva, arrested for spying for secret police spy Carlo Del Re, was accused of being the terrorist organization that chemical for that attack was artecife. To support the charge only a paltry sentence thrown, perhaps artfully, in a technical report to the explosive that was meant for a protest by the group Justice and Liberty, which was Ceva exponent.
But first things first.
In 1930 he formed a group in Milan - the most important - Justice and Freedom, anti-fascist organization built on the initiative of Carlo Rosselli, mostly. Rosselli, rich family, he put his assets in the provision for the group anti-fascists emigrated or fled to France during the years 1925-28, the most important of whom was Filippo Turati, the founder of the Socialist Party, now an old man (he died in 1932 in Paris). Rosselli helped him to escape with a daring escape from London helped by Pertini, Umberto Ceva, Bauer, Olivetti, and others. For this reason, Rosselli was arrested on his return from Corsica (where he had landed, with a motorboat, and Turati Pertini). He was sent into internal exile. He escaped in 1929 with another legendary escape - always by boat - along with Lussier and Nitti, and driving from Paris, with renewed force, the anti-fascist struggle.
In 1930 GL stands a cell in Milan. A guide Ernesto Rossi, an economics professor who taught in Bergamo Technical Institute Vittorio Emanuele II
Main components of the Milanese Vincenzo Calace, Bauer, and Umberto Ceva, skilful chemist.
GL organized a sensational initiative for the eighth anniversary of the march on Rome. They'll jump at night, the headquarters of the Internal Finance. In many Italian cities are created by groups of GL. To weave the threads of the professor Bergamo, Ernesto Rossi. Tireless, goes back and forth between Bergamo and Milan, while, through the sympathetic, with the conspirators of the major cities, including Bologna, Turin, Trieste, Rome, Naples.
The explosive is a mixture of phosphorus (the so-called "White Phosphorus") which should come out with a special device to time bombs and set fire to the offices of Finance. The estimated time is around midnight on October 29 in order to avoid any danger to victims. Together with the group
Rossi recruit character and tireless work of GL, with an extraordinary knowledge (he has three degrees and is preparing the fourth), intelligent and clever dissembling, the newcomer is thrown in the activity with enthusiasm conspiracy. Admirer of Mazzini to the point of copy their style of dress and some external attitudes, it is noted immediately to the absolute dedication with which he makes available to Bauer and Rossi.
E 'counsel of Udine, Del Carlo King who, in addition to admiration for Mazzini has the habit of gambling. It loses money on the table is not his. Receiver, the King has available a curatorship of a hundred thousand lire. A small fortune.
For unless we decide to sell what he has, namely the Milan cell of GL were arrested in a major police operation 30 October 1930.
The book I am presenting on July 23 is the story of Ceva that is betrayed by the King and "worked" by the Inspector of Police Francis Naked, secret police chief in Milan, he was led to believe that his companions are the perpetrators of the massacre in Milan in 1928, and were about to make a right with his help.
idealist, duped by naked, with the suspicion that his comrades are the killers, only in prison without the possibility to check, you feel trapped. He is
proposed a way out: blame the comrades and give a hand to the charge. The naked and the police chief mouthpieces are desperate to close the investigation into the bomb and send to the fair trial of the "guilty".
The special court has just started, and Mussolini makes it clear to his hierarchy, "the lead back to the traitors." He wants to inaugurate a series of death sentences with just those convicted of the murder of Milan. It would be a masterstroke, and nobody can raise any objections, since the massacre at the Fair one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in time of peace.
After Rossi, Bauer, Calace, it's up to Schirru, who was arrested because he had the intention to kill the leader, by his own admission, and so on. A season of blood to eliminate the radical opposition. But to start, you need the big shot. The punishment for the murder of Milan (20 deaths reported, 25 staff and over) is the perfect start. Umberto Ceva
the senses. He knows he can only confirm the terrible evidence of guilt. The bombs were the Finance Office - for the prosecution - the second episode design of a single criminal by Rossi and his men, so disqualifying the entire opposition to the scheme, branded as terrorist and bloody. Ceva
But there is. With a courageous act, she decides to escape the car. The only way is to kill himself. It is not a suicide, but an act of resistance, one of the first true acts of resistance, along with an indictment of the power and its textures.
The presentation will present the historical Lucio Ceva, son of Umberto Ceva, who has worked for the publication was reprinted. And 'most experienced military historian of Italy, and will be a great honor for me to be at his side. The occasion of
presentation will be given by the frame of the fifteenth edition of the book
