Stolperstein in Salò, 2016

Stolpersteine is the German name for small, cobble stone-sized memorials collocated all over Europe by German artist Gunter Demnig. They remember the fate of the victims of Nazi Germany being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide. The first Stolpersteine in Milan, the capital of the Italian region of Lombardia, were collocated in January 2017.

Generally, the stumbling blocks are posed in front of the building where the victims had their last self chosen residence. The name of the Stolpersteine in Italian is pietre d'inciampo.

The list is sortable; the basic order follows the alphabet according to the last name of the victim.

His parents were Israele Russo and Clara Salom. He was a operatic singer, already retired, who lived in Merano. When the prefect of Bolzano in July 1939 commanded that all "foreign Jews" had to leave the province within 48 hours, Russo fled from South Tyrol. On 11 September 1939, he was registered in Gardone Riviera, first in Corso Zanardelli 24, then on 17 April 1940, in a room for rent on Via Roma 91 (now Vicolo Ars 10). At that time he could not know that Salò would once become the headquarters of Mussolini's Social Republic within a few years. In June of 1941 his stay changed to "free internment". In December 1943 he was arrested by Italians, detained in Salò's jail, and subsequently taken to the prison of Canton Mombello in Brescia. In January 1944, a lady of Meran, Luisa Lerber Countess Saracini, intervened at the prefect of Brescia, describing Alfredo Russo as follows: "He lived 40 years in Merano, a member of the Civic Theater [...] considered a singer of value [...]. His pension was lifted and his wife, preferring to join an "Aryan", left him for a rich prestinaio in Innsbruck. He is 73 years old, he is sick of arthritis, the prison kills him, his pains are unbearable, his hands contracted and can not any longer open his fingers. " Nevertheless, Alfred Russo was transferred to the Fossoli transit camp. On 22 February 1944 he was deported with convoy no. 8 to Auschwitz concentration camp. He was part of the same convoy as Primo Levi and 650 other Jews. He was eliminated on arrival at Auschwitz on 26 February 1944.

He was the first of three siblings. His father was a well-known Socialist of Val Trompia. He attended the collegio civico at Salò, graduating in 1940. He was employed and was also a farmer. He was very sporty and participated in various soccer tournaments in the area. He married Jolanda Bertoloni of Salò. They had gotten to know each other at school. The couple had a son, Adalberto. He was enlisted in the alpine body. After the armistice of Cassibile he joined the partisans of Val Trompia. "During the Resistance, Spartaco fired, carried weapons, threw bombs in German sites, was a youth educator in the struggle against Nazi fascism, an example of courage even under torture." Belleri participated in an attack on Beretta assuming the task of cutting telephone lines. He was arrested along with 63 others, but was able to get free. Thereafter he was hiding in the mountains between Brione and Vesalla, where he continued his activities as chief-partisan. His father Lorenzo was also wanted by the police and went into hiding in Bergamo from 1943 to 1944. When the situation calmed down, his father returned home. On 7 November 1944, members of G.N.R. burst into his home and — not finding Spartaco Belleri — had his father arrested. The son came down from the mountains and printed himself to Fascist forces, replacing himself with his father. He was taken to the prison in Brescia. There he was interrogated and tortured by German SS. On 14 November 944, he was deported to the Bolzano transit camp, where he wrote a last letter to his wife and son. On 14th of December he and his brother Amilcare were transferred to Mauthausen concentration camp. The deportation lasted five days — the train went through Croatia, Serbia and Hungary to former Austria. He lived in inhuman conditions, with exhausting forced labor. He died on 15 March 1945.
