A Special Day

Gildo Bugni, a partisan named Arno, though being 93 years old, has no memory of “such a difficult” April 25, but he does not venture a comparison between the Resistance to fascism and nazism and the fight agaimst COVID-19, if nothing else because “A vaccine against fascism has never been found. We must not forget that”, he told Francesco Battistini of Corriere della Sera. And today, like then, the worst demagogy “is in the air”. But now, he says, “We’re gonna go out again. Free, free at last. And thanks to all those who fought for freedom”.
