-
I went to visit an uncle who lived close by, borrowed a bicycle and went home.
-
Near the Via Emilia, they had known about the Liberation before.
-
When I arrived at home, in Cella, it was 9:30 or 10, and they had just found out.
-
I was one of the first partisans who had come back.
-
It was a disaster.
-
I couldn’t stop crying since I had always been very sensitive.
-
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.
