Oscar Gallesi

The Duke Oscar Gallesi of Vicobellignano, was born in Vicobellignano on 10 September 2004 and grew up in the same village, he is also better known as "Oscara" or "Oschi".

He had a relatively peaceful childhood, frequenting the oratory of San Rocco more than often, even though he was an atheist at the time, and according to his biography he delighted in helping children and instructing them in the sporting and philosophical arts. .

In 2022, with the outbreak of the maranza crisis (vandals in northern Italy), Oscara was forced to abandon attending the oratory as it was no longer safe.

On the night of March 31, 2022 it is said that while he was hiding in the church from the Maranzas who wanted to punish him for treason he fell asleep and was called by the Lord who told him:

   Gallesi, what are you hiding?
   Get up and free yours
   people from this torment;
   I will be with you!

Oscara, as eyewitnesses of the time reported, was severely shocked as he was no longer able to speak and locked himself in the house for days. Furthermore, he was condoned by the Maranzone (chief of the maranza), an unprecedented event.

On 12 April 2022, he went out into his courtyard and a large crowd gathered: he gave the speech of Casa Gallesi with the famous phrase "I don't like these things". Then he was nominated in a loud voice by the crowd of vimblignés "Duke and Captain of Vicobellignano"; following his appointment, he officially declared war on the Maranza people, organizing a very ferocious resistance supported by almost all of the Vicobellignanese. The opposition lasted until 7 November 2023 when the resistance forces led by Oscara himself and General Clemente de Ghèis prevailed in the battle of the Baslenga District, defeating the enemies and relegating them beyond the canal, to nearby Casalmaggiore, thus putting an end to the crisis.

With the end of the war and the reopening of the Oschi oratory he took part in the Cre-Grest of Vicobellignano of which he was made head.
