Sergio Ramelli (6 July 1956-29 April 1975)

Sergio Ramelli was an Italian Social Movement (M.S.I.) member who was murdered during the "Years of Lead". He was born in Milan, Lombardy, Italy in 1956, and he studied industrial chemistry in his hometown. He became involved with the FUAN youth wing of the M.S.I. and he wrote an essay attacking the Red Brigades during his time at school. On 13 March 1975 he was attacked while on his way home by an armed group of the Trotskyist Avanguardia Operaia that beat him with wrenches, smashing his skull. He died of his wounds on 29 April. 45 years later the Italian left celebrates this killing and even prohibits its commemoration. We remember him as a martyr for the Right and one to inspire us onward.
