The Cibeno massacre was a massacre carried out by the SS on 12 July 1944 at the shooting range of Cibeno, a fraction- now a district - of Carpi, in which 67 people already imprisoned in the Fossoli camp died. Among the victims were a number of notable Italian partisans, including Carlo Bianchi, Jerzy Sas Kulczycki, Felice Lacerra, Michele Levrino and Giuseppe Robolotti.
It has been defined as "the most heinous act committed in SS-occupied Italy on people interned in a concentration camp".[2]
