“In the name of Matteotti” and University of Michigan

At the same time that some universities of America and of South-Africa discovered one of my books, i.e. “Contro”, published in Milan in 1968, the University of Michigan discovered a book on “Brigades Matteotti” of italian Resistence which cited my name as one of vice-commandants. This university had in hand a copy, reprinted it and put it in its library available for students and teachers. Now I am one of few survivors of the Brigade s Matteotti and consequently I can give again a testimony on history of this glorious brigades. My Communication n.10, downloaded all over the world, from my website by dozens of thousands copies, makes an historic revision of italian after-war. In such a revision I narrate the disintegration of socialist party produced, Nenni accomplice, by catholics and communists which after 18 April 1948, gave origin to catholic-communist régime. In such a process of disintegration the “matteottini” were the most hit because in the name of the martyr were the real socialists as English, Swedish and socialists of North-Europe. The most part of socialists became either filo-catholic or filo-communist. The real socialists, as “matteottini”, were persecuted in any way. Also the founder and general commandant of Brigades Corrado Bonfantini from Novara was persecuted. He was hit also in his family. The party of Nenni became real property of communist party. At the beginning of 70s De Martino and Mancini hired Martuscelli, a magistrate in temporary retirement, as judge of socialist party in order to expel, also without any reason, all the “matteottini”. In exchange, the two secretaries promised Martuscelli the voting station for the Senate. When the promise was not maintained, Martuscelli, deceived, disclosed the matter on all newspapers including the “Corriere della Sera” which still maintains in archive all documentation. It is sufficient to demand it. I agree to thank the Michigan University for having remembered us. It will be useful to enclose my blog to the book. Only for historical truth.
