President Meloni’s statement on 68th anniversary of the Marcinelle tragedy
The tragedy that happened on 8 August 1956 at the Bois du Cazier mine in Marcinelle, in Belgium, will be forever etched in Italian and European history. Italy suffered the greatest loss: 136 out of 262 miners were our compatriots. They were Italians who had made the difficult and painful decision to leave their land to support, with dignity and spirit of service, the nation that had welcomed them. They did so undemandingly, with humbleness and dedication. A dark mine thousands of miles away from where they were born may have claimed their lives, but the memory of those sons of Italy lives on in our national community’s gratitude.
