He shook the very soul of Florence, a city renowned for its embrace of art and humanity. The PER MOR DIOP E PER SAMB MODOU – UCCISI DA MANO RAZZISTA E FASCISTA – 13 DICEMBRE 2011 Plaque serves as a reminder that even in the heart of beauty and culture, darkness can lurk. It’s a call to never forget the victims and to actively combat the hatred that led to this tragedy. Their names are forever etched in the memory of Florence, a city determined to learn from its past and build a future free from fear and prejudice.
