The seven Cervi Brothers
Cervi were a numerous family of tenant farmers, who lived in Praticello di Gattatico, composed of father Alcide, mother Genoveffa Cocconi, seven male sons (Gelindo, Antenore, Aldo, Agostino, Ferdinando, Ovidio, Ettore) and two female daughters (Diomira and Caterina). The seven male sons, fervently antifascist, were shot to death by the fascists in Reggio Emilia December 28, 1943, after their house was destroyed and they were arrested one month earlier.
