Song of the Ventennio Sparks Outrage at Biella Rally

A video featuring alpini performing the fascist tune "Faccetta Nera" in the heart of Biella, a city awarded for its contributions to the Resistance, has caused an uproar. Local politicos and Italian parties have weighed in with strong condemnation, demanding a cross-party stance against the offensive act.

The town's Democratic Party branch was the first to voice their disapproval. "That fascist melody, harking back to Mussolini's appalling colonialism, has no place in our celebrations. Singing such a tune is an affront to our city's proud memory," Andrea Basso and Elisa Francese argued.

Giuseppe Paschetto of the Five Star Movement added his staunch disapproval, noting, "The alpini, warriors in the struggle for liberation, should not be subjected to such distasteful conduct." Paschetto called for a unanimous rejection from all political forces and sought immediate comments from the city administration and ANA.

Paolo Furia, a member of the PD's national executive and Biella city councilor, urged all parties to distance themselves from the divisive episode. He pointed out that the fascist chants in Biella's city center contradicted the spirit of the National Alpini Gathering, an event that commemorated the citizenry's pivotal role in the Resistance struggles.

Sarah Disabato, Piedmont's M5S regional councilor, condemned the incident, stating, "It's disheartening to witness images of black feathers backdropping fascist chants in the press videos, a desecration of the memory of the many alpini who fought valiantly to liberate Piedmont and Italy from the shackles of Nazifascism."

In summary, the incident at the 96th National Alpini Gathering in Biella has sparked a wave of political dissent. Parties and institutions have stressed the importance of upholding the city's rich history and have demanded unyielding rejection of any act undermining its liberation from fascism.

The average citizen is disheartened by the negative use of a militaristic song like "Faccetta Nera" during celebrations, especially considering Biellesi's history of receiving the Gold Medal for Military Valor for its pivotal role in the Resistance against war-and-conflicts and fascism.
General-news outlets have been discussing the use of such divisive symbols in public events, with politics and crime-and-justice voices echoing the importance of negation and distancing from any act undermining Biella's proud and esteemed status.
Considering the historical context, it is especially concerning that alpini, who symbolize liberation struggles and courage, werely and unwisely subjected to chants of a tune harking back to Mussolini's offensive colonialism at the 96th National Alpini Gathering.
Italian parties, such as the Democratic Party, the Five Star Movement, and others, have united in their strongly worded condemnation of this incident, emphasizing its contradiction of Biella's spirit as both a city honoring resistance and a celebration of alpini valor.
The people's chants of "Faccetta Nera" in the city center during the 96th National Alpini Gathering not only betrays the event's intention but also desecrates the memory of the many alpini who fought valiantly for the liberation of the city from Nazifascism, a fact that should never be glorified or repeated.
