DEMETRIO CASTELLI
(Cortemilia, 13 Novembre 1916 – Pollenzo, 25 Agosto 1944)
Nacque a Cortemilia il 13 novembre 1916. Fu ordinato sacerdote nel 1942 con la nomina di vice parroco a Roddi d’Alba. Tentò invano di fermare una rappresaglia nazista, preoccupato di proteggere la sua comunità. Per questo il 25 Agosto 1944 fu preso in ostaggio, accusato di collaborare con i partigiani, e poi ucciso dai soldati tedeschi. Il suo corpo fu sepolto frettolosamente nella boscaglia della Tenuta Reale di Pollenzo.

Er versuchte vergeblich, einen Vergeltungsschlag der Nazis zu verhindern, aus Sorge um den Schutz seiner Gemeinde. Aus diesem Grund wurde er am 25. August 1944 als Geisel genommen, der Kollaboration mit den Partisanen beschuldigt und anschließend von deutschen Soldaten getötet. Sein Körper wurde hastig im Busch des königlichen Anwesens von Pollenzo begraben.
