In the parliamentary committee of enquiry in Italy, a leading police unionist spoke about the “images from Bergamo”, among other things.
Politicians are still using the “images from Bergamo” for propaganda purposes, thereby legitimising their coronavirus policy, which began with the “images from Bergamo” and then took a firm grip on Europe for years. The myth behind the military transport that removed bodies from Bergamo has long been deconstructed. Now new details have come to light.

Bergamo bluff
After the funerals were cancelled and gravediggers were confined to their homes in lockdown, the city switched to burials in crematoria (without a decree) – the dead were cremated. As the local crematoria reached their limits, the bodies were transported to the neighbouring provinces – with the help of the military. This is the short story of the “Bergamo pictures”. This phrase was later used to argue in favour of lockdowns, as it would prevent “the pictures”.
Now 2024 is being investigated – at least partially. Antonio Porto, the secretary of the police union, testified at the parliamentary committee of enquiry in Italy at the end of November. He also spoke about the military convoy. His revelation? Only one coffin was transported in each military lorry. Unzensuriert, which reported on the testimony, writes: “And in his hearing he asked the question of why: who and what did they want to convey to the population with these images, which did not correspond to their alleged message, i.e. lied?”
Here is the excerpt of Porto’s testimony before the Covid Commission in Italian:
The “coffins of Bergamo” were immediately recognised as “something was wrong”, said Porto.
This is how the Italian press reported on his appearance:
“From the very beginning, we noticed the discrepancy between the reality and what was disseminated via the media,” said Porto and went on to explain how impossible it was for the police officers to object: “Unfortunately, many had to obey: You had to follow the hierarchical ways, and that’s what the orders were. Some were even disciplined”.
The union also presented data questioning the effectiveness of the measures taken, particularly in relation to vaccinations, although these are not currently being studied: “In two months, we had almost 50 per cent of the two-year total number of infected people,” says Porto, referring to the period after the introduction of compulsory vaccination.
According to the secretary of the OSA police, the vaccinations were also the result of symbolic propaganda: “We couldn’t explain why there was only one coffin per lorry in Bergamo when it could have contained two or three. We recognised immediately that something was wrong and what the target was.
Of course, the statement has also been criticised. For example, the police could not have known how many coffins had been transported. Porto also spoke about other controversial topics. For example, about the protests at the port of Trieste against the Green Pass, the Covid certificate:
“Today we can assert with even greater vigour and based on numerous court rulings that many of these provisions restricting the freedom of others were unlawful!
We apologise to all Italian citizens for what they suffered at the hands and at the behest of their state institution.
Emblematic is what happened in Trieste on 18 October 2021, when water cannons were used by the state police on defenceless demonstrators sitting in silent protest. This fact represents the culmination of a dark page in the history of Italian democracy, because to this day no one knows, nor does anyone seem to care, who gave the order to use force against such peaceful and symbolic dissent, which certainly deserved the removal of helmets and certainly not the indictment.”
