Casa Santicchio

Killing linked to rounding-up operation for taking control of territory
Caught in possession of a weapon during a patrol by German troops, Azeglio Acciai was brutally murdered by the roadside. His body was found shortly afterwards deliberately and cruelly mutilated. What happened may have been linked to the ongoing rounding-up operations in the Falterona mountain area, which also involved nearby Moscaio (Municipality of Bibbiena).
