Carlo Vive!

Carlo Giuliani. Forever Young!
Roma, 14.3.1978 - Genova, 20.7.2001

"Last 20th of July 2001

our mate, Carlo Giuliani, was brutally murdered

by the fascist Italian police

just because he demanded a more equitable distribution of the world economy

just because he acquired a conscience

just because he gave voice to the voiceless

just because he thought, just because he thought..."

Carlo Giuliani in the streets of Genova, 20.7.2001 

On August 25, 2009 the European Court of Human Rights notified
in writing its judgement in the case of Giuliani and Gaggio v. Italy.
It judged no excessive use of force was used and it was not established that Italian authorities
had failed to comply with their positive obligations to protect Carlo Giuliani’s life.

In 2005 the English band Chumbawamba dedicated the following 

cover of the famous Italian partisan song "Bella Ciao" to the memory of Carlos. 

The world is waking outside my window

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

Drags my senses into the sunlight

For there are things that I must do

Wish me luck now, I have to leave you

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

With my friends now, up to the city

We’re going to shake the Gates of Hell

And I will tell them – we will tell them

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

That our sunlight is not for franchise

And wish the bastards drop down dead

Next time you see me I may be smiling

Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

I’ll be in prison or on the TV

I’ll say, «the sunlight dragged me here!»
