The April 25 celebrations this year came two days after local elections, whose official results showed surprise gains for the cen- ter-left parties and a sharp set- back to the center-right allies of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Both Mr. Berlusconi's Freedom Alliance and the former commu- nist Democratic Party of the cen- ter-left each won just under 41 percent of the vote. Rightist leader Gianfranco Fini acknowledged that his National Alliance had fared less well than it had hoped, with 14.1 percent of votes. The elections, however, showed a country sharply — and almost evenly — divided politi- cally, 50 years after the end of the war. On April 25, 1945, Italy's anti-fascist partisan movement declared an insurrection in north- em Italy, where dictator Benito Mussolini had set up a puppet government after being driven out of Rome by the Allies. Three days later, on April 28, Mr. Mussolini, his mistress Claretta Petacci and other fascist leaders were executed by parti- sans and their bodies were strung up in Milan's Piazzale Loreto. Church services, rallies and other events were held through- out Italy to mark the anniver- sary. President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro began the day by paying homage in Rome to the 335 victims of the March 1944 Nazi massacre at the Ardeatine Caves. The victims, who included 75 Jews, were executed by the Nazis in reprisal for a partisan attack that killed 33 Nazi stormtroop- ers. The massacre is regarded as the worst war crime to have tak- en place in Italy. Mr. Scalfaro later issued an ap- peal for national unity during a mass rally of 100,000 people in Milan's Duomo Square. `This is a day of celebration for the entire Italian people," he said. "History cannot be changed, and only respect for the truth should be the basis of reconciliation." Recent political changes in Italy, and particularly the rise of conservative forces allied with Berlusconi, have opened debate about the wartime conflict be- tween the anti-fascist resistance and supporters of Mr. Mussoli- ni's fascist government. Mr. Berlusconi, who resigned in December rather than face a no- confidence vote, was elected prime minister last year after forging a coalition that included the National Alliance party, which includes former neo-fas- cists. Mr. Fini, the National Alliance leader, was for years the leader of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement. Conservatives have been urg- ing that the April 25 holiday be a commemoration of Italians on both sides — fascists as well as Rallies and other events were held throughout Italy. resistance fighters — who fell while fighting for their widely dis- parate visions of Italy. There have also been calls that April 25 should be a day of rec- onciliation granting dignity to both sides. Opponents of the right urged that the anniversary be an occa- sion to speak out against Mr. Berlusconi, Mr. Fini and their policies and to reaffirm the anti- fascist stand of the wartime re- sistance as the bedrock of Italy's postwar political development. Israelis Injured In Lebanon Jerusalem (JTA) — Two Israeli soldiers were lightly wounded when members of the Islamic fundamentalist Hezbollah move- ment fired missiles and mortars at an Israel Defense Force post in southern Lebanon. IDF helicopter gunships and artillery responded, shelling vil- lages north of the security zone Israel maintains just north of its border with Lebanon. Sources in Lebanon said two Hezbollah gunmen were killed and a Lebanese civilian was wounded in the exchanges. The clashes came after Hezbol- lah forces launched a Katyusha rocket attack on northern Israel. Four people were lightly wound- ed and property was damaged, when a rocket exploded between houses in Kiryat Shmona, which has been the target of previous rocket attacks. Hezbollah claimed responsi- bility for the attack, saying it came in retaliation for the deaths of two civilians during heavy fighting the day before.
