Stolpersteine in Rome

The stumbling blocks (Stolpersteine in German) are an initiative by the German artist Gunter Demnig to deposit a widespread memory of the citizens deported to the Nazi extermination camps in the urban and social fabric of European cities. This project began in 1992 and consists in incorporating stone blocks covered with a brass plate placed on the upper face of the pavement of the cities, in front of the last homes of the victims of deportations.
