1975

April 18, Florence
Rodolfo Boschi, 28 years old, employee E.N.E.L.

On April 18, 1975, he paraded through the streets of Florence for the death of Claudio Varalli. The realities present in the square are many, from the students, to the ANPI, to the PCI; the former move in a procession during the morning, while the general city event starts in the late afternoon.

Already from the morning the goal is clear: to reach Piazza Indipendenza, where the headquarters of the MSI is located. The first approach attempt is immediately followed by police offices. In the afternoon, from the procession that started from Piazza Santa Croce, some comrades begin to break away in small groups and head back to Piazza Indipendenza: violent clashes begin with police and carabinieri deployed in defense of the MSI headquarters. At this point the ANPI, to avoid the clashes, immediately moves the comrades to Piazza S. Marco for the rally. At the end, clashes with the police resume, which last until late in the evening throughout the area. Rodolfo Boschi, employee of the ENEL, has long been part of the order service of the PCI and during the concentration for the ANPI event he participates in the garrison of the roads that lead to the headquarters of the MSI.

It is now past 23:00 when Boschi, with other companions, and Francesco Panichi, a militant of Autonomia Operaia, see a group of 9 agents in plainclothes intent on beating a boy on the ground; immediately they try to run to his rescue together, but the first shot starts from the group. Rodolfo, Francesco and the others run away, but Agent Basile takes aim and shoots repeatedly, killing Boschi and injuring Panichi.
