The Stolpersteine ​​were laid by Gunter Demnig , whose name is pietre d'inciampo in Italian .

The stumbling blocks are usually in front of the last self-chosen place of residence of the victim. The stumbling block for Riccardo Reuven Pacifici was laid at the place of his arrest. The first installation in Liguria took place in January 2012.
