Statement by President of the Council of Ministers Giorgia Meloni on 41st anniversary of the Rome Synagogue attack

9 October 2023

On 9 October 1982, during the festival of Shemini Atzeret, Rome’s Jewish community was hit by a terrible terrorist attack.  Forty people were injured and a little Italian boy, Stefano Gaj Taché, lost his life, aged just two.  A dark day, and a wound for the nation that is yet to heal. No one has paid for the grenades and machine gun fire that cut Stefano’s life short that day, that devastated a family and caused many others to suffer, shocking an entire community.  Today we renew our commitment to not forget what happened and to continue demanding the truth, in both historical and legal terms, about the facts of that terrible day.  Today more than ever, following the horrible, barbaric events taking place in Israel, the Government expresses its sympathy and solidarity with the Israeli people and Italian Jewish communities. Terror will never prevail.
