April 27, 2024 is the 87th anniversary of the death of Antonio Gramsci. Here are some photos of a commemoration event, beside his grave, today at the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome, an annual gathering, organized by the Fondazione Gramsci and International Gramsci Society.






I plead ignorance, why the 87th? or why was it celebrated to this extent at 87? i’d expect 90th and 100th to be fairly large but not 87 so clearly i am missing something:)

It’s an annual thing at the cemetery, a commemoration, organized every year by Fondazione Gramsci and International Gramsci Society. Just so happens that this year is the 87th anniversary — Gramsci died 87 years ago on April 27, 1937. That’s all.

Thank you, I’ve visited the grave (and the cats) twice now and will likely go sometime in the next few years again.
