Memorial events were held in Italy to honor victims of violence and state-related incidents. In Rome, the 12th annual memorial for Stefano Cucchi took place at Fondazione Basso and Monk. The event honored the surveyor who died in 2009 following a beating by law enforcement, an incident that led to the manslaughter convictions of Carabinieri Alessio Di Bernardo and Raffaele D’Alessandro. The gathering served as a platform for human rights advocacy and prisoner dignity, with Ilaria Cucchi attending to advocate for justice.

In Staffolo, a regional memorial was held at Teatro Cotini to honor victims of terrorism and massacres. The ceremony included testimonies regarding the 1978 Red Brigades attack in Rome and honored Domenico Ricci, a Carabinieri officer killed during Aldo Moro’s escort. The event emphasized the importance of historical memory, legality, and the Italian Constitution.
