A white marble plaque on this building commemorates Father Enrico Tazzoli and the meetings he held here with his companions “for the redemption of the homeland.” Tazzoli was born in 1812 in Canneto sull’Oglio, in the province of Mantua, to a prosperous family. His mother, Isabella Arrivabene, belonged to a noble lineage, and his father Pietro to the local bourgeoisie. After private studies, he entered the seminary in Mantua and was ordained a priest. He became a respected preacher and teacher, attentive to the social issues of his time, dedicated to helping the poor and especially children’s education. He promoted evening and holiday schools and served as secretary to kindergartens inspired by the educational principles of Ferrante Aporti. Tazzoli later became involved in the Belfiore Conspiracy, aligned with Giuseppe Mazzini’s democratic ideals, and emerged as a leading figure within the Mantua committee established at Palazzo Benintendi. The committee expanded the resistance network between Lombardy and Veneto, organising propaganda and preparing military plans. In 1852, Tazzoli was arrested at his home. Compromising documents were found, including the coded register of the committee’s activities. Charged with high treason, he was sentenced to death by hanging and, at General Radetzky’s request, was stripped of his priestly status. He was executed in the Belfiore valley along with other patriots who became known as the Martyrs of Belfiore.
