brought against the partisans on 21 September 1944 which ended with the death sentence of 
three of seven, only to pardon 2 and shoot only one, Lieutenant Salvatori Aldo.

The trial, of which documents can be found on the web, was characterized by the speed with 
which the judges sentenced the partisans to death .... the same Attorney General who 
participated in the hearing, General Pasini declared that "a trial conducted with more serene 
and objective criteria of normality ...... would have had much less serious consequences "......

The fact can only be justified by considering the quantity of attacks that the partisan bands 
carried out in Piedmont that autumn.
