Summary: | The history of republican Italy has been marked by a long serie of terrorist massacres, which have remained largely unpunished, also due to the side-tracking role played by the state apparatus. The family associations of the victims of the neo-fascist massacres played a fundamental role in bringing out the truth about that dramatic season. Similarly, this kind of activism has also involved the victims of left-wing terrorism and the mafia. Starting from the definition coined by the sociologist Gabriella Turnaturi of “moral familism” the essay first sets out a theoretical framework in which to frame the evolution of the concept of victim. Then, in the light of the many concrete experiences and actions models unfolded since the 2000s, the article shows that “moral familism” has not died out, but that it continues to manifest itself today, despite almost all judicial events related to years of terrorism have been largely concluded. A fundamental part of the work done by family associations, in fact, concerns the preservation and making available of documentary material and archives dealing with the massacres, providing scholars and society with an invaluable contribution of knowledge. |
