That day ended the illusion of peace missions: even the 'Italian, good people' knew that they could fight. And die. But according to many was also born on that day the practice of parallel diplomacy in the war zone, that is the habit of dealing with people shooting at us. Well, that day in Mogadishu changed so much that it is worth remembering, studying, analyzing. Even today not to repeat the same mistakes in Afghanistan, Lebanon or Kosovo. Yet it was all dimenticato.Adesso traces the History Channel Battle of the Check Point Pasta, highlighting testimonies and unreleased films with the most controversial aspects of that tragic morning of July 2, 1993. As soon as the Italian peacekeepers were forced to open fire on the crowd. The direct reconstruction by Andrea Bettinetti will air Dec. 21. It looks like a replica of 'Black Hawk Down', the film about the operation that caused the U.S. withdrawal from Somalia. Even our soldiers found themselves trapped in the labyrinth of Mogadishu and had to fight to rescue the injured, as many as 22. Remember Tirollo Fabio, a young lieutenant at the wheel of an armored car: "A captain of the Lightning I pointed the gun: 'Load the two paratroopers injured and breaks through the barricades'. Risposi che l'ordine era di non muoversi. Lui disse: 'I casi sono due: o li porti in salvo o ti sparo'". Le immagini dei due parà insanguinati hanno fatto il giro del mondo. Meno note quelle dei loro commilitoni che all'inizio degli scontri prima sparano in aria, poi abbassano il tiro fino ad altezza d'uomo. Con lo stupore per quella battaglia imprevista. L'Espresso
