The Fragheto massacre (Italian: Eccidio di Fragheto or Strage di Fragheto) was the massacre of 30 Italian civilians and 15 partisans in Fragheto,[1][2] a frazione of Casteldelci in central-northern Italy,[3][note 1] on 7 April 1944, during World War II, by soldiers of the German 356th Infantry Division.[1][7] After partisans belonging to the Eighth Garibaldi Brigade ambushed troops approaching the hamlet,[1] fourteen soldiers of the Sturmbattaillon OB Sudwest conducted house-to-house searches and summarily killed civilians.[1][2] Representing 40% of the hamlet's population,[8][9] many of the victims were elderly people, women, or children.[1][8] A further seven partisans and one civilian were shot the next day at Ponte Carrattoni, at the confluence of the Senatello and Marecchia.[10]

The Fragheto massacre was among the first massacres perpetrated by the Wehrmacht and collaborating Italian fascists in central-northern Italy.[3] For years after the massacre, some local opinion held partisans responsible for the massacre, accusing them of attempting an impossible ambush and leaving the hamlet's residents open to reprisal.[1][9]

An initial investigation into the massacre was archived in the 1960s, the files being lost in the Armadio della vergogna.[1][11] In 2013, a trial in absentia acquitted the only two surviving German soldiers, who had been charged with multiple homicide aggravated by trivial reasons.[1]
