As known, the Venetian people asked for partial compensation for the damages produced by the Italian State for the abusive employment started in 1866. The appeal was presented in Strasbourg on 2 June , by climbing all the Italian pastoons. (vdi http://www.palmerini.net/blog/?p=245)

At that time they were requested 400 billions of euros for the period only 2004-2008.

Now a similar initiative has been taken by the South Party in the municipality of Gaeta and I am honored to have their leaders as readers of my blog .

Beyond the personalization of the Venetian national institutions that some do to diminish them, Then it must be recognized that the path of the State of the Venezia started with self -government is also imitated by foreign nations

Latina – The city council of Gaeta with the only vote of the majority of the center -left gave a mandate to the junta, led by the mayor Antonio Raimondi, to start a legal action against the heirs of the Savoy house. The cause, Proposed by the leader of the South Party and Councilor of the Pontine Municipality, Antonio Ciano, aims to ask for the damage caused by the Piedmontese during the siege of what was the last stronghold of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, in 1861. The request for compensation for damages amounts to 220 million euro.

Historical moment – "It is – The mayor Antonio Raimondi said on the sidelines of the Council session – of a historical moment for the city because we can finally make a strong application, If only for moral recognition, of what happened from November 1860 until the 13 February 1861. For this we will also ask for compensation for damages even if it is the historical aspect, I want to underline it, that interests us. Gaeta – added the mayor – he paid then, In terms of crimes against humanity because there were bloody bombings, And because since then my city has experienced an inexorable impoverishment due to the decision to state many sections of the territory. Impoverishment that we still pay today ".
