«Every age had its martyrs, its victims, the useless heroes who with their sacrifice opened their eyes and the way to others», said Giacomo Matteotti, just over twenty years old. On 10 June 1924, twenty years later, on the Lungotevere, he was kidnapped and killed by a group of “daring” fascist Ceka, an organization wanted by Mussolini to silence opponents. It was the fundamental articulation in the affirmation of the totalitarian regime in Italy. Today streets and squares remember him, but how many would know who this useless hero was?
