Memorial for Italian internationalist Lorenzo 'Orso' in Florence

Today at 10 am in Florence there will be a memorial for Lorenzo Orsetti, who fell martyr in Bahoz a year ago.

Italian internationalist Lorenzo ‘Orso’ Orsetti (Tekoşer Piling) joined the ranks of Rojava’s defence forces from Italy in 2017. As an internationalist revolutionary, he took an active part in the struggle for freedom for a long time.

Tekoşer Piling took his place in the internationalist units within YPG at the forefront of the resistance against Turkey’s invasion of Afrin. He played a significant role in the struggle for freedom, enduring all conditions with great determination.

He also fought with great sacrifice and determination in the Jazira Storm campaign to oust ISIS from its final enclave in Deir ez-Zor. He played an active role in the TKP/ML-TİKKO international units during his time in the region, with a principled and determined stance that embodies the universal values of socialism.

Tekoşer, who led an exemplary life through his devotion to the revolution, was martyred on March 18th during a conflict as part of operations against the last area occupied by ISIS.

Lorenzo was laid to rest on 24 June last year in his hometown, Florence. Today the family and friends of the brave fighter will hold a memorial of words and music.
