Mayor Giuseppe Sala made the request following a Mass marking the 75th anniversary of the Gorla massacre, named for the quarter in the city that was struck, the news agency ANSA reported. “I think it’s necessary that the American government apologizes, knowing that we are here to forgive,” Sala said, adding that he would formalize the request with the U.S. consul in Milan this week.
The air raid on Oct. 20, 1944, targeted an industrial complex near the city, but a second wave of bombers went off course and released their bombs southeast of the target to lighten their loads as they returned to base.“It was a very serious error resulting, as history tells us, from an incredible superficiality and inexperience,” Sala said.

Seriously, apologize for something that transpired in a war that happened almost 75 years ago? Get real! That wuss Obama is finished with his “I’m Sorry” world 🌎 tour‼️
If we’re truly sorry, then we should apologize. No harm done
DeptofDefense wont. Bc it would mean they actually accept responsibility for once. but not before spending 200 million dollars on figuring out on how to respond. If they do. The world will be shocked. Wouldnt you agree? Snowden KimDotcom ACLU AP nypost EFF RT_com
Italy would be speaking German if not for America.
Has Italy apologized for all the Americans killed in action during the war? How about reparations to their families?
Here’s your apology...
I was in the past during a war move on Milan
Send Obama there... He bows to EVERYONE
Umm which side was Italy on? How about we are sorry that you were on the wrong side of freedom.
I’m sorry that happened

We are sorry for liberating Italy to have it fall again to the Germans 70 years later EU
Hiroshima is like
Lets not forget we were in a world war. The US has nothing to apologize for. The question that comes to mind is what actions has Italy taken to ensure unexploded ordinance was removed?
