The municipality of Rome has announced plans to change the captions of 24 streets and squares in the "African Quarter," an area in the Trieste district north of the historic center, where street names refer to Italy's colonial wars in Eritrea, Libya, Somalia, and Ethiopia between the late 19th century and World War II. Many captions celebrating the names of generals and places associated with these streets are still celebratory or rhetorically linked to an imperialist language. Once revised, they will merely describe the titles. For example, Giuseppe Arimondi will no longer be referred to as a "colonial hero" but simply as an "Italian Army general," and Tripoli will no longer be described as a "region of Libya" but rather as the "capital of Libya." This "decolonization" project is part of Rome’s effort to better contextualize the massacres and violence perpetrated by the Kingdom of Italy and the fascist regime, explained Culture Councilor Massimiliano Smeriglio. For the time being, just 24 captions will be modified, while the names of the streets and squares stay unchanged.
