They told us that the Germans were out there and that the land was mined because they didn't want night attacks,
-

-
Then I fell asleep on a pile of ropes, starving, and when I woke up I saw Ancona on the coast.
-
We got off there and they brought us to an old factory that was full of people.
-
They put sergeants there as guards, and I was a sergeant, they wouldn't let anyone pass.

I had no Lira in my pocket, only Kunas, the Croatian currency.
-
There was a greengrocer there and I wanted grapes
-
so I went there to take a look and the lady said:
-
“Do you want grapes?” and I said “Yes madam, but I have no money”.
-
So she gave me the grapes for free.
-
She was like a mother, she asked me where I came from
-

we had a hard time but after eleven days we reached our homes walking and by train.
-
We wanted to be home by September because then there would be grapes and figs,
-
there would be something to eat, whereas there was nothing at the place we were staying.
-
In Reggio I stayed at some poor peoples' house.
