Today I’m publishing the 2007 Calendar with the heroes and martyrs of Italy instead of saints. Anyone can print it for free or send it to a friend. Obviously, it can’t be used for financial gain. It’s possible that among the many victims there are one or two who have not been cited.

Send me the information and they will be added. It’s possible that the calendar has some errors. Let me know. Sometimes, there was more than one victim on the same date but only one has been named. When you read the names of the fallen, day by day, Italy seems to be a theatre of war.
Between people who are honest and those who are dishonest. Between servants of the State and criminal, terrorists and corrupt politicians. A war that is open to every solution. A war that is current and whose outcome is not certain. It’s not sure that it will be “us lot” that win. And it’s difficult to work out who are on “our side” and who are on “theirs”. And whether this country can still claim to be a State based on rights.

From the introduction to the 2007 Calendar:”The saints have always been our companions in the calendar. They protect us when we are in need. Who has never turned to Saint Anthony or Saint Francis at least once? The saints are not for discussion. In fact people blaspheme against the divinity but never against a saint. But, still in their greatness they are religious saints.
They belong to a religion. Not to all the Italians. Italy has had its lay saints. They have died in their hundreds.
To protect the State, the freedom of the press, our rights, the life of the citizens. I’ve thought up a calendar to remember them. To thank them. Without them our country would be the territory of the economic potentates, of the mafias, of the P2, of the extremists.
It’s possible that it is anyway. But in that case, their deaths serve to remind us that the human is born free and not a servant. Courageous and not a villain. To live as villains and as servants is possible. It’s also good for the health…”
