Pineta Mussolini in Sormano, mayor: “I am anti-fascist and left-wing, but let’s leave the title”

In Sormano, in the province of Como, there is an ‘Arnaldo Mussolini’ pine forest. The title, which should date back to 1934, was rediscovered a few years ago by a wood enthusiast, who found a stump with the words “Parco Arnaldo Mussolini, year XII”, but has caused scandal only now, in the wake of the controversy for the statements of the Northern League undersecretary Durigon, who proposed to re-title the park of Latina, which now bears the name of Falcone and Borsellino, to the duce. The mayor of Sormano Giuseppe Sormani – who at Adnkronos defines himself as “from the left, from a family of communists” and “absolutely” anti-fascist – does not want the storm to sweep away the historical title: “I believe that the strength of a democracy is to also face their own story, made up of positive and negative characters. Otherwise the wind changes and we start discussing ‘via Togliatti’ and ‘via Gramsci’. It seems to me a useless discussion ”.
