On Lungotevere Arnaldo da Brescia in Rome, on June 10, 1924, Giacomo Matteotti was kidnapped and killed by a fascist squad as he was on his way to the Chamber of Deputies. His body was found on August 16, 1924. The marble plaque commemorating the socialist deputy, which stands right near his abduction, was damaged in an act of vandalism. Investigations into the incident are under way. Last year the institutions celebrated the centenary of his death, and one hundred years after the famous speech on May 30, 1924, in which Matteotti denounced Fascist violence in Parliament in the April 6 elections of that year, the Chamber organized an exhibition set up in the Transatlantic and a celebratory ceremony in the hemicycle with the participation of the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella, and the presence of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The condemnation was unanimous: "A cowardly gesture and a disfigurement to the memory of a deputy who paid with his life for the courage of his ideas and his unwavering loyalty to democracy. In the Chamber, his memory is alive and symbolically represented by the seat we reserved for him last year, from which Matteotti denounced, on May 30, 1924, fascist violence and fraud", said Chamber Speaker Lorenzo Fontana.
