One victim was not content to petition for immediate relief in the form of a blanket, a pair of shoes, a meal for his children, or a small temporary financial subsidy. Pasquale Migliorini may or may ...not have been truly needy, but as a political victim of Fascism, he sought much more in the way of comprehensive restitution for his loss and reparation for his suffering. In 1921, Migliorini had been a clerk in the Anagraf and Civil State records office in the commune of Cavriglia. Forced from that post because he refused to enrol in the Fascist Party, he

Book Chapter
The Aretines (like the rest of Italians) lived through the war and its aftermath not only as individuals, but also as members of their communities, and as part of a larger nation victimized by war; ...that is, the experience of war was both unique and common. At the end of December 1945, Arezzo’s prefect reported to the Ministry of the Interior that, among the citizens of the province, an ‘individual and collective sense of loss’ flowed from their ‘shared suffering,’ and from which the people found it ‘hard to recover.’
The population suffers from the sorrows and the grave sacrifices

The war in Italy struck Aretine villages Pieve Santo Stefano, Civitella, San Pancrazio, Castelnuovo, and Meleto, and people in those villages, particularly hard. As Arezzo’s prefect often emphasized ...during the postwar years, however – generally when asking the ministries of the interior and of postwar assistance for funds – no commune in the province had made it through the war unharmed. Every commune in the province of Arezzo, every town and village, every citizen had suffered. The province as a whole was left with ruined landscapes, houses and public buildings bombed, churches burned, fields mined, personal possessions and livestock stolen, thousands of
Many human genetic associations with resistance to malaria have been reported, but few have been reliably replicated. We collected data on 11,890 cases of severe malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum ...and 17,441 controls from 12 locations in Africa, Asia and Oceania. We tested 55 SNPs in 27 loci previously reported to associate with severe malaria. There was evidence of association at P < 1 × 10(-4) with the HBB, ABO, ATP2B4, G6PD and CD40LG loci, but previously reported associations at 22 other loci did not replicate in the multicenter analysis. The large sample size made it possible to identify authentic genetic effects that are heterogeneous across populations or phenotypes, with a striking example being the main African form of G6PD deficiency, which reduced the risk of cerebral malaria but increased the risk of severe malarial anemia. The finding that G6PD deficiency has opposing effects on different fatal complications of P. falciparum infection indicates that the evolutionary origins of this common human genetic disorder are more complex than previously supposed.
