- 
Oh, shit! We asked a man standing around
 - 
which was the safest way and he said: "I am going to the cemetery".
 - 
So we went there, too.
 - 
After a while everything was quiet so he walked back home.
 - 
We didn't know the place so we decided to spend the night there
 - 
and leave the next morning. Slowly,
 - 
avoiding the main roads and the villages, we went up to the hills.
 - 
We reached Nironi, Vairo, Palanzano,
 - 
all those villages that we'd heard about but had no idea where they were.
 - 
If we asked people they would all say:
 - 
"No, here we don't know anything, we don't see anything,
 - 
we don't even know who the rebels are ..."
 - 
So slowly, slowly we proceeded uphill and were quite desperate because we had lost ...
 - 
We had some coins in our pocket but not many.
 - 
At night there always was a problem of where to spend the night, at some peasant's house.
 - 
But it was dangerous because the fascists would come and get you.
 - 
So we arrived at Corniglio
 - 
and we met this lady who was sitting outside her house knitting.
 - 
We asked her: "Lady, we're looking for partisans, the rebels ..."
 - 
Up there they didn't even know who the partisans were and we didn't have a proper term for them, either.
