The date of February 28, 1978 for the Fascists in Rome has a particular significance: it marks the third anniversary of the death of Mikis Mantakas young belonging to FUAN. The year 1978 has also opened with a serious act of violence: January 7, in an ambush by militants left out the section of the MSI via the Acca Larentia Appio-Tuscolano, two young militants are killed right where he dropped a third in the aftermath of riots with police immediately after the incident.
in Rome for a while 'time is on a small group of fascists particularly strong claims that their actions under the symbol NAR (Armed Revolutionary Nuclei), among its outstanding features such as file and Chris Valerio Fioravanti, and Alessandro Alibrandi Franco Anselmi. They are determined to "remember" the recent events. By unreliable information, Valerio Fioravanti believes that Acca Larentia committing the ambush were the occupants of the building located on a Flame Calpurnius, Cinecittà . On the evening of February 28, between 23:10 and 23:30 the group, assisted by other members of the Roman right, goes to the building but once there you realize that it is closed, they are not aware that the day before , for the umpteenth time, the police had carried out an eviction against the occupiers. Now go in the direction of the nearby Piazza San Giovanni Bosco, whose gardens often serve as a meeting place for many comrades in the area. Arrived on the spot by the small group quickly falls FIAT 132 clear, his face uncovered, burst into the square and are emerging from bushes nearby fire almost at random. In the immediate confusion falls to the ground, hit in the chest, a young 24 year old Robert Scialabba. The boy has not yet died when Valerio Fioravanti at point blank range, after be his mounted above, shoots him two more blows to the head. The shooting also injured his brother Robert, Nicola, but manages to escape and save themselves as the fascists are alarmed by the arrival of a passing car. The postage stamp squad takes no less than five minutes during which there is no flying involved. Often in the past the square, which serves as a meeting point not only for the Companions of the area also gives rise to smuggling of heroin, is "popular" by the police. The Fascists therefore in time to escape unhindered. Roberto lying lifeless on the gravel that covers the garden of the square. A few hours after the word 'National People's Youth, "behind which lie the NAR, is credited with a phone call to the' messenger 'responsibility for the attack claiming he had avenged Acca Larentia. The next day, however, many newspapers do not mention the claim, and shall include murder, second, even as we learn from the news of the investigations conducted by police as part of a settling of scores between different bands in the control of a drug market heroin.
The "fault" Roberto was that at the time of his murder, some cane in his pocket to smoke with friends. Until March 1982, when the "repentant Christian Fioravanti clearly vindicate the father, though not material, that murder, for many performers did not want to be named. For years, Roberto was printing a drug dealer killed in gang war-zone of quell'emarginata ghetto of Rome. Not a word from him about his political commitment, first as Lotta Continua militant, then as an active occupant of the center of Fiamma via Calpurnius.
In a written, September 30 when a year before he was killed Walter Rossi, Roberto, despite not knowing him directly, This reminds him: "A tear slides over the face, a tear that had to go out, the heart is running out, rebel, his thumps accompanying slogan that climb the sky" is not enough to pay all the grief you will pay dear "."
So, after the death, the companions of Cinecittà remembered him, "Roberto was a comrade who fought, like all of us against 'police state and that the exclusion imposed. E 'fell under the fire of partisan fascist. "
