The WHITE POPLAR included in 2016 among the #alberimonumentaliitaliani planted in 1984 by Francesco Castellini, the only survivor of the terrible massacre of Secco on 29 June 1944.

Three bloody criminals, two of Czechoslovakian origin and one Austrian, deserters from the German army, after having already carried out massacres for the purpose of robbery in various places in the province of Alessandria, arrived in the area of Castelnuovo Scrivia and massacred first Carlo Galanti in Molino and then six people from the Sottotetti and Castellini al Secco families. The massacre was horrible, also because it was carried out with hammers, billhooks and blades for slaughtering the pigs. It could have been even more tragic if at the Vecchia farmhouse, at one in the morning, with six other people held hostage, they had not decided to give up "because they were tired of killing".
