Malesco and its surroundings were the setting of many of the war events of the Resistance War in 1944<\/strong> and are now part of the historical paths dedicated to the main characters of the Resistance in the Ossola Valley: the paths Teresa Binda<\/em> and Nino Chiovini<\/em>.<\/p>\n 15 Partisans were imprisoned and tortured by the Fascists in Malesco\u2019s nursery in June 1944. This is the reason why the Municipality built a fountain in the square which faces the nursery to remember them. Those young men were then brutally shot in Finero on the 23rd<\/sup> of the same month. At the entrance of Finero there is a monument to remember them and on the walls of the cemetery the bullets\u2019 holes are still visible to remind us of the cruelty of that Civil War.<\/p>\n On the narrow street which takes from Finero to the Cannobina Valley, The Partisan Commanders Attilio Moneta<\/strong> from Malesco and Alfredo di Dio<\/strong> were shot and killed by the Fascists coming from the Cannobina Valley. The landscape has not changed since then apart from the plaques which were put along the street to remember such brave men. Some scenes of the movie \u201c40 days of freedom\u201d (about the Ossola Partisan Republic) were shot there.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [sf_gallery gallery_id=”1590″ slider_transition=”slide” show_thumbs=”yes” autoplay=”yes” show_captions=”yes” enable_lightbox=”yes” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [\/spb_column] [spb_column width=”1\/3″ el_position=”last”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\nThe history and monuments of the Resistance in Valle Vigezzo<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
