Timeline

1920

Salvo D'Acquisto (15 October 1920 – 23 September 1943) was a member of the Italian Carabinieri during the Second World War.

1939

He volunteered to join the Carabinieri in 1939 and left for Libya the following year, a few months before the start of the Second World War.

After being wounded in the leg, he remained with his division until he contracted malaria.

1942

He returned to Italy in 1942 to attend officer school.

He graduated as a vice-sergeant and was assigned to an outpost in Torre in Pietra, a little rural centre on the Via Aurelia not far from Rome.

1943

After Italy surrendered in September 1943 to the Allies, the Germans occupied most of the country.

On 22 September, two German soldiers were killed and two others wounded when some boxes of abandoned munitions they were inspecting exploded.

The Germans insisted it was sabotage, and the next day they rounded up 22 civilians to try to get them to name the saboteurs.

The soldiers made the prisoners dig their own graves when they continued to assert their innocence.

D'Acquisto, in charge of the local Carabinieri post, was taken to the prisoners.

When it became clear that the Germans intended to kill them, D'Acquisto "confessed" to being solely responsible.

He was executed by firing squad, but the civilians were released unharmed.

D'Acquisto was posthumously awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valour.

He was given the title Servant of God by Pope John Paul II.

Salvo D'Acquisto was born in Naples, the eldest of eight children, three of whom died as infants and another as a child.

His father worked in a chemical factory.

He left school at the age of 14, as was customary for working-class boys at the time.

On 25 July 1943, Benito Mussolini was overthrown, and the new Italian government negotiated secretly with the Allies to switch sides.

An armistice was officially announced on 8 September.

1983

In 1983, Archbishop Gaetano Bonicelli announced the opening of a cause for beatification and canonization in the Military Ordinariate of Italy, Pope John Paul II declared D'Acquisto a Servant of God.

The process of beatification of D'Acquisto took place on 4 November 1983 and ended on 25 November 1991 with the consequent transmission of the documents to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

1987

On 15 October 1987, Gaudenzio Dell'Aja was appointed by Cardinal Corrado Ursi, Archbishop of Naples archbishop delegate of the ecclesiastical tribunal for the canonical recognition of the mortal remains of D'Acquisto, which was carried out on 18 October 1987, at the Basilica of Santa Chiara in Naples, in the first chapel on the left, near the entrance.

1996

In 1996, the same congregation was given a supplement of inquiry wanted by the new postulator.

The initial postulator, however, had begun the cause of beatification to obtain the recognition of the "heroic virtues" while the subsequent postulator requested the recognition of the "heroic witness of charity," a definition applicable to martyr.

2007

In 2007 however, a majority vote expressed in a conference of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints led to a suspension of the recognition as a martyr.

2011

After the 9–11 September fighting in Rome, elements of the German 2nd Parachute Division were detached to coastal defence duties, and a small unit was camped near an old military installation previously used by the Guardia di Finanza, in the vicinity of Palidoro, frazione of Fiumicino, which was in the territorial jurisdiction of the station of Torre in Pietra, another frazione of the same municipality.

Here, on 22 September, German soldiers were inspecting boxes of abandoned munitions when there was an explosion.

Two died and two others were wounded.

The commander of the German detachment blamed the death on "unnamed locals" and demanded the cooperation of the local Carabinieri post, at the moment under D'Acquisto's temporary command.

The next morning, D'Acquisto, having gathered some information, tried in vain to explain that the deaths were an accident, but the Germans insisted on their version of events and demanded reprisals, according to a standing order issued by Generalfeldmarschall Kesselring a few days before.

On 23 September, the Germans conducted searches and arrested 22 local residents.

An armed squad took D'Acquisto by force from the station to the Torre di Palidoro, an ancient watchtower, where the prisoners were gathered.

Under interrogation, all of the civilians said that they were innocent.

When the Germans again demanded the names of the responsible persons, D'Acquisto replied that there were none – the explosion was accidental.

The Germans ridiculed, insulted, and beat him, and tore his uniform.

Suddenly, the prisoners were handed shovels and forced to dig a mass grave for their own burial after execution.

The digging went on for some time; when it was completed, it was obvious the Germans meant to carry out their threat.

D'Acquisto then "confessed" to the alleged crime, declared that he alone was responsible for the "murder" and that the civilians were innocent, and demanded that they be released right away.

One of those freed, 17- or 18-year-old Angelo Amadio, witnessed the execution by firing squad.

D'Acquisto was 22.
