a memorable story, made memorable by men

Today I got I got an afternoon presenteeism.


I was at a book presentation, held in the City Hall in San Miniato.


The book is titled, "San Miniato 1944-1946: the birth of republican democracy.".

The authors are two well-known historians and researchers, Mario and Massimo Caciagli Carrai.


" The elections of 1946, the municipal March 17, voting for the Constituent Assembly and referendum on the monarchy / republic of June 2, also threw in San Miniato the foundations of democracy.
orientation the voting that took shape in 1946 in San Miniato, as in almost all of Tuscany, constituted a critical point in the region because it would remain for decades.
Before coming to deepened analysis of the triple vote of 1946 in the town of San Miniato, Conduct village to village, the book reconstructs the beginnings and conditions: the anti-Fascist underground movement in the thirties and the catastrophe of World War II, and then the end of fascism, partisan warfare, the destruction of cities, the slaughter of the Cathedral, the CLN, the presence of Americans, the commitment of local councils after the Liberation, the prompt reconstruction of the left parties, the mobilization of the farmers. Particular emphasis
assumes the shape of the Council Salvadori, several times mayor and alderman in the hard years of uninterrupted war.
"


The book is dedicated to Alberio Falaschi, the only survivor of that first council of the Italian Republic.
In the eighties, those of my early photography and literature, was president of ProLoco town, always ready to fund my efforts.

Ermanno Taviani and Faiti Salvadori, children of the stars of those days, we ran the story memorable memorable by men who were able to reconstruct, with honesty and justice, a country destroyed by a war of invasion, but was also a civil war .

Before leaving the hall, I photographed the view from the window of my Mayor.
