Death of Giacomo Matteotti, Quartarella forest, Italy, 1924 (b/w photo)

Italian socialist politician. The body was found and taken from the forest of Quartarella to the cemetery of Riano Flaminio. On 30 May 1924, he spoke in the Italian Parliament alleging the Fascists committed fraud in the recently held elections, and denounced the violence they used to gain votes. Eleven days later he was kidnapped and killed by Fascists. Another reason for his murder, is that he found out the evidence of bribes from Sinclair Oil in favour to Mussolini, in order to get permission for the petroleum reservoir exploitation in North Africa.
