A sign that takes you back to the past, to the historical and, above all, political memory of a territory like that of Mogoro . A territory in which, especially until the 1990s, the Italian Communist Party had a large following and consensus. In memory of that past, the "Communists of the former Mogoro section", as the promoters of the initiative call themselves, have decided to make a donation to the community. Following the sale of the premises of the party section of the town, in vico Gramsci, the money collected will be used for a bust depicting Enrico Berlinguer , a symbol of the history of the PCI in Italy.
The statue will be placed in the Town Hall square, in a green space in front of the Town Hall, next to the town post office and close to the town's green park. Specifically, it will be a bust of almost 60 centimeters , with a pedestal and at the base a parchment with the dedication "In memory of the communists of Mogoro who fought for freedom, justice and the emancipation of Labour. The comrades of the PCI section they put".
«The work», the promoters begin, «will be paid for entirely by the proceeds from the sale of the venue . We want it to remain a memory in honor of all the communists of Mogoro. On the other hand, the PCI section has always been here, from the Second World War onwards». The memorial stone will be unveiled during an inauguration ceremony, scheduled for June 24, which should also be attended by Ugo Sposetti of the "Fondazione Enrico Berlinguer", Tore Cherchi and other representatives at the regional level. «We invite», they add, «anyone who wants to participate in the event. The bust will be dedicated to Enrico Berlinguer who, among other things, closed the electoral campaign in Mogoro in June 1961 together with Renzo Laconi. We still remember when Piazza del Popolo was filled during rallies. There were so many who attended."
A past in which Communist Party members represented an important number of the electorate: «We also had 450 members», they continue, «and to leave a trace of this we decided to make this gift. This is a land in which there have been struggles for the lands of Morimenta, times in which people fought over things». As a reminder, from June, there will also be a statue in one of the most central areas of the country.
