The news of the confirmation of the allocation was given yesterday, April 25, thus on a symbolic day, precisely during the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the Liberation, a moment of collective reflection that is inextricably linked to the city of Milan, awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor for its fundamental role in the Resistance.

The announcement was made by Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli during a videoconference meeting with Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala and Lombardy Region President Attilio Fontana.

The announcement comes on a particularly significant day. It is our duty to ensure that the memory of that period remains alive, accessible and shared especially for new generations, as per the commitment made by my predecessor.”
