bombs on pisa August 31, 1943

A homage to Pisa

31 Aug 2010

67 years ago, 953 people died under Allies’ bombs. To the people who think some areas of the city are shabby because there is a ruin of a building or an ugly building has replaced an older palace, well, I would like to say that those are the scars of the price Pisa paid for our freedom. They are your history too. Treat them with respect.
