history

After Italy entered the war in June 1940, the fascist regime set up around 50 internment camps ( campo di concentramento ) throughout Italy, including in Petriolo in December 1942. It was located in Villa Castelletto , also known as Villa Savini , a country house in one remote district. It was a women's camp; the inmates were “hostile foreigners” and foreign Jews who had been transferred there on December 13, 1942 after the camp in Treia was closed. The maximum occupancy in Treia and Petriolo was 42 internees.

On September 8, 1943, the day the armistice was declared, all internees left the camp.
