Rome, Italy: Road block in viale Giulio Agricola, postamat ATM set on fire and Intesa Sanpaolo subsidiary damaged on 24th April [day of appeal in cassation of Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito  against ”Scripta Manent” sentence].

Rome, 24th April 2024

We learn from the mass media (which from the morning have given some prominence to the event) that shortly after 4am on Wednesday April 24th, in viale Giulio Agricola in the Appio Claudio district in Rome, unknown persons had set up a road block with an improvised incendiary barricade composed of rubbish bins dragged into the roadway and set on fire. At the same time a nearby post office had been attacked: the flames, although put out in conjunction with the intervention of the police forces, had nonetheless damaged the postamat (ATM).

On the wall was written “Anna and Alfredo free”, in reference to the anarchist comrades Anna Beniamino and Alfredo Cospito for whom, the same day, the hearing was be held in the court of cassation concerning the appeal against the judgement of the Turin court of appeal that had established the sentences for the comrades in the Scripta Manent trial to 17 years and 9 months and 23 years (the court of cassation had confirmed the outcome). At the same time, still in the same area, a window of an Intesa Sanpaolo bank subsidiary was shattered. “No peace for those who live off war” was written on the wall of the bank.
