Background

Dora Piatelli and Zaccaria Di Capua married and had a son Amadio. She was arrested along with Amadio. They were held at the Roma Collegio Militaire for 2 days and then deported to Auschwitz, where they stayed until they were murdered – she in the summer of 1944 and he in the spring of 1945.

A week after Zaccaria Di Capua was arrested in 1944, an Italian resistance group (Gruppo di Azione Patriottica) killed 33 Nazis. In retaliation, at the Fosse Adreatine, the Nazis executed 335 Italians, including Zaccaria, who was not involved in that resistance action.

No information was found about Anselmo Pavoncello. His stolperstein was installed on 15 January 2019, seven years after the stolpersteine for the other three residents here.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the last voluntary residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved victim’s with the name, year of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: "A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."
