In Remembrance of Salvo D’Acquisto’s Sacrifice
The musical Band of the Vatican Gendarmerie Corps and the Band of the Carabinieri performed a concert at the Augustinianum, in the hall named after Father Agostino Trapè, in Rome to commemorate the 83rd anniversary of the execution of Venerable Salvo D’Acquisto by the Germans during World War II. The young Carabinieri’s heroic and voluntary offering of his life, propter caritatem (out of charity) saved the lives of 22 innocent civilians in occupied Naples.
