Pastasciutta Antifascista Events Continue Nationwide

Entities: ANPI (Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d'Italia) · Daniela Antonini · Cervi family (Alcide Cervi and the seven brothers) · Mauro Castelli · ANPI (Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d’Italia)

Overview

The Pastasciutta Antifascista programme, initiated by the Cervi family in Campegine after Mussolini’s fall on 25 July 1943, has expanded into a nationwide series of communal pasta meals, readings and concerts. In late July 2026 ANPI sections organised gatherings in dozens of towns—including Sciacca, Gavorrano, Enna, Asiago, Mazara, Mantova, Camini, Allerona and others. On 26 July Alida Alessi led the ceremony in Sciacca’s Piazza Angelo Scandaliato, while Gavorrano’s event again raised €1 080 for the humanitarian charity Emergency. The tradition continues to link historic memory with present‑day solidarity, with proceeds supporting medical aid and projects such as Galbiate’s collection of medicines for Cuba. A shelter slated for a Pastasciutta Antifascista gathering was vandalised, prompting local authorities to secure the site before the event. These annual pasta gatherings reinforce democratic values, educate new generations about Italy’s anti‑fascist legacy, and maintain a direct link between historic remembrance and contemporary social solidarity.
