The rough translation is “One anti-fascist is always on their feet.” Apparently, this was not written by an Italian-born individual due to the use of “sembre” a misuse of the word “sempre” (always) and stilted idiomatic expression. The assumption is it was written by a Moroccan. This park in Alba is frequented by Moroccans – who are the object of most anti-immigrant sentiment in Italy and other countries in Europe.

When we had asked a local woman about the meaning of this sign, she at first thought we were kidding. She had never noticed it in all the years she had lived there. The dislike of “foreigners” was palpable. Berlusconi won the recent election on an anti-immigrant stance.
