Abstract

In San Lorenzo, on the wall a building cut in half by the Allied air raid of July 19, 1943, a huge graffito remained visible for years: “Legacy of Fascism.” In the 1990s, while the neighborhood’s artisan shops were being replaced by fashionable small restaurants and clubs, it was painted over, perhaps with a mind to gentrify the place. It was a gesture of tangible revisionism, which literalized a number of worn-out metaphors: whitewashing history, erasing the past.KeywordsConcentration CampPolice ChiefPolitical PrisonerHouse PainterArmed StruggleThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
