European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
My father was telling people to let me go: “He didn’t die in the mountains, do you want him to die here?”
-
Afterwards I went to the well,
-
washed my face with some cold water and straightened myself up, then went back to Reggio.
-
By then all the young girls in Cella had formed a column and were walking towards Reggio to march into town.
-
They arrived in Reggio, together with those from Pieve Modolena, Cavazzoli, etc.
-
They had formed an endless column.
-
They reached Santo Stefano, where the order was not to go into town since there were snipers shooting.
-
At the time of the Liberation,
-
the partisans changed the road signs on the Via Emilia,
-
so that the Germans headed towards the lowlands instead of Milan.
-
There they found all the bridges blown up.
-
It was a nightmare for them, until they made it to Boretto.
-
With difficulty they had to leave thousands of tanks, horses, other things, an incredible haul.
-
Few or none of the Germans made it across the Po river.
-
The Resistance for me was just like going to university.
-
I learned to feel confident throughout my whole life, and never felt uncomfortable again.
-
That’s why I set up the cooperative although everybody was against the idea. Consorzio, Federcoop laughed at me:
-
“What are you setting up the cooperative for? You wouldn’t be able to lead a cooperative even if the times were different”.
-
I replied: “You don’t understand. I took part in the Resistance and I learned a lot from it.
-
We did things you wouldn’t even imagine”.
