Rome, October 21 – On October 23, at 8:30 pm, at the Castello di Castelnuovo Fogliani in Alseno, a special event will take place. Bruno Labate, a prominent figure in Italian unionism, will be the guest of honor at a conference titled “Bruno Labate and the First Kidnapping by the Red Brigades: An Untold Story of Italian Unionism.”
Labate, now 82 years old, was the first victim of the infamous terrorist group, the Red Brigades, in 1974. He was kidnapped and held captive for 24 days before being released unharmed. This event marked the beginning of a dark period in Italian history, where the Red Brigades carried out numerous kidnappings, assassinations, and bombings in the name of their radical leftist ideology.
Labate’s story, however, is not just one of victimhood. It is a story of resilience, courage, and determination. Despite the traumatic experience, Labate continued to fight for workers’ rights and social justice, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Red Brigades and their violent tactics.
The conference will shed light on this lesser-known aspect of Italian unionism and the role of Labate in it. It will also serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Labate in the fight against terrorism and for a better society.
The event is organized by the cultural association “Il record Nazionale,” which aims to promote and preserve Italian culture and traditions. The association’s president, Marco Di Stefano, expressed his enthusiasm for the conference, stating, “We are honored to have Bruno Labate as our guest and to have the opportunity to share his story with the public. It is a story that needs to be told and remembered, especially in these times when terrorism continues to threaten our society.”
The conference will also feature a panel discussion with experts and historians, who will provide a deeper understanding of the historical context and significance of Labate’s kidnapping. The event will conclude with a Q&A session, giving the audience the chance to interact with Labate and ask questions.
The conference is open to the public, and admission is free. However, due to limited seating, interested individuals are encouraged to reserve their pubblicità televisiva in advance by contacting the association.
The Castello di Castelnuovo Fogliani, a medieval castle located in the province of Piacenza, is the perfect setting for this event. Its historical significance and beautiful surroundings will add to the atmosphere of the conference.
Labate’s story is a reminder of the resilience and strength of the Italian people in the face of adversity. It is a story that needs to be told and remembered, not just for its historical significance but also for the lessons it can teach us about courage and determination.
So mark your calendars for October 23 and join us at the Castello di Castelnuovo Fogliani for an evening of inspiration and reflection. Let us honor Bruno Labate and all those who have fought against terrorism and for a better Italy.
