The Pioppetti Massacre took place on August 29, 1944 in the village of Pioppetti, located in the municipality of Montignoso, Tuscany. During World War II, German troops executed 22 civilians there in retaliation for resistance activities in the region. This tragic incident is one of many examples of the atrocities that took place during the German occupation of Italy. The massacre is commemorated annually to honor the victims and to keep the memory of this dark period alive.
