The rough translation is “One anti-fascist is always on their feet.” Apparently, this was not written by an Italian-born individual due to the use of “sembre” a misuse of the word “sempre” (always) and stilted idiomatic expression. The assumption is it was written by a Moroccan. This park in Alba is frequented by Moroccans – who are the object of most anti-immigrant sentiment in Italy and other countries in Europe.
