Biography
Oberdan Sallustro was kidnapped on March 21, 1972,[3] by a six-man, one-woman commando unit of the ERP.[4] The guerrillas shot and killed him on April 10, 1972, after the place where they had hidden him was discovered.[5] Both the kidnapping and the murder caused an enormous impact both within Argentina and internationally.
Oberdan Sallustro in the culture
In popular culture, the Fiat 133, Fiat 673,[6]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". and Fiat 130 AU (bus) were nicknamed "Sallustro" or "Vendetta de Sallustro". As it is understood, it is because they did not come out with the expected quality, in a kind of "rematch" for the violent death of Oberdan Sallustro.
A few years after Sallustro's assassination, Fiat Argentina paid homage to him by naming its new development, the Fiat 673 truck, with his name. This truck had severe deficiencies in its engine, (a version of the OM CP3) which mainly tended to overheat. Quickly, Argentine truck drivers and mechanics baptized it "Sallustro's Revenge". Since then, any Fiat or IVECO model that presents a problem or mechanical defect is nicknamed that way.
Awards
- In 1967, Sallustro was unanimously awarded the Gold Medal of the Italian Institute for International Relations.
- In 1968, he was decorated by Pope Paul VI with the Pontifical Order of Saint Gregory the Great.
