Arbus: remembered the carabiniere-hero Giulio Speranza, who died during a robbery in Ingurtosu

The figure of Giulio Speranza , a young carabiniere originally from Belluno who died at the age of only 22 during a robbery that took place in Ingurtosu in 1948 , was remembered in the hamlet of Arbus on the occasion of "Monumenti Aperti".

Speranza had challenged the criminals to defend 20 employees taken hostage within the management of the Ingurtosu mine and the wages of the miners. It was February 9, 1948.

«For his courage and devotion to duty – underlines Marshal Gianluca Passalacqua, who also wrote a historical text in memory of the carabiniere-hero – he was decorated with the silver medal for military valor in memory . Furthermore, the barracks of San Gavino Monreale and a street in Sois, in the Belluno area, were named after him».

Passalacqua, together with the children of the elementary school of Arbus , gave the municipal administration a photo of Giulio Speranza and a plaque in his memory, which will be placed in the council chamber.
