What is the main conflict in the article?: The Stolperstein, a commemorative stone for Giovanni Minchiotti, is at the center of a legal battle. His daughter wants it placed in Liguria, while the Aned and the town of San Giorgio di Lomellina want it in their town.
What is the anticipated outcome of the situation?: The legal dispute will determine the final location of the Stolperstein, with a judge in Savona deciding whether it should remain in Liguria with the daughter or be placed in San Giorgio di Lomellina as initially planned.
Who was Giovanni Minchiotti, and why was he imprisoned?: Giovanni Minchiotti, a Guardia di Finanza member, refused to join the Republic of Salò and was sent to Dachau. He survived thanks to an elderly German officer and later passed away in Liguria in 1990.
