At Eboli the “Memorial Day” for the South

3400
La battaglia del Volturno

Two days of study devoted entirely to the South. That is scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday, October 1) and the day after tomorrow (Thursday, 2 October), as part of the first celebration of the “Memorial Day of the Southern question“, organized by the cultural association “Luigi Gaeta” in the monumental complex  Sant’Antonio to Eboli (Salerno). To say the least important is the date chosen for the start of the event in memory of an important historical moment for the ancient Kingdom Two Sicilies: the battle of the Volturno , fought on October 1, 1860 on the banks of the river high Casertano, with many examples of heroism of the forgotten soldiers of the Bourbon army. 2 on Thursday, from 4 h. pm, will be speeches, among others, the historian Gennaro De Crescenzo, and directly from the USA, the writer and journalist Pino Aprile.
