Why is there a simple plaque here? This, my friends, is the Sergio Ramelli Plaque. It’s a stark reminder of a dark chapter in Milan’s history. We’re not here to glorify the past, but to understand it. Sergio Ramelli was just 18 years old in 1975. He was a student and a member of the Youth Front, a right-wing political group. Those were turbulent times in Italy, marked by political violence from both the left and the right. Sergio became a target for his beliefs. He was brutally attacked near his home, beaten with wrenches and iron bars. He died after spending 47 days in a coma. The Sergio Ramelli Plaque is more than just a memorial to a young life lost. It’s a call for peace, a reminder that violence is never the answer. It encourages us to remember Sergio Ramelli, but also to strive for a future where such tragedies are never repeated.
