The motion
That this House remembers the life of Carlo Carini, Arbroath-born Italian partisan, on the anniversary of his murder by German Occupation forces in Piacenza, Italy, in October 1944; notes Carlo's significant contribution to Italy's liberation, his heroism against fascism which was recognised by the Commander of Allied Forces in Italy, General Alexander, and by the Italian Government who posthumously awarded Carlo the Silver Medal of Italy; highlights that Carlo and his family were very much part of the community in Arbroath; further highlights that Carlo was a skilled footballer in Arbroath and that he also played professionally in Italy; commends the work of the Carlo Carini memorial group and the ANPI (Associazone Nationale Partigiani d'Italia), in remembering and recognising the importance of Carlo's life and the cause for which he fought; thanks the ANPI for their ongoing and successful campaign to establish a youth football competition between teams in Arbroath and Piacenza; and gives thanks for the group's efforts to inspire a new generation thanks to Carlo's example.
