Demonstrations in Rebibbia. Rome, 24 May 1975
Revolt in the prisons: the inmates of Rebibbia protest against the failure to implement the Prison Regulations.
"Besieged by 4,000 policemen, bombed by helicopters, the prisoners of Rebibbia surrendered" - article by Clara Valenziano on: Il Manifesto.

"Besieged by 4,000 policemen, bombed by helicopters, the prisoners of Rebibbia surrendered" - article by Clara Valenziano on: Il Manifesto.
At the end of August 1975 numerous fires broke out in Italian prisons due to the failure to implement the new prison regulations. In Rebibbia, around 800 inmates barricade themselves in the common areas and on the roof. Every attempt to negotiate is unsuccessful.
Marcello Geppetti creates a very strong serve. We chose the photo that marks the epilogue of the revolt: the intervention of the helicopters bombarding the roof with tear gas.
The photo is sold with certificate of authenticity of Marcello Geppetti Media Company.
The image is a detail created in an exclusive for Supermartek.
