Has naming a port after Salvo D'Acquisto gone too far?

Question

The decision to rename Gaeta’s port has put locals on edge. Critics argue it glorifies a controversial figure while supporters see it as an homage worthy of respect. Why does this matter?

Answer

It's one thing to honor someone, but naming the entire harbor after Salvo D'Acquisto feels like overkill and risks whitewashing his past.

Answer

Memorializing a local hero in such a prominent way is essential for Gaeta’s identity. It keeps history alive rather than burying it under bureaucracy.
