-
And I went to the mountains
-
and crossed the fields of a man called Fontana, a fascist but an honest one.
-
He understood that I wanted to enlist.
-
We went to the river Enza where he had an appointment with many other guys.
-
My task was to bring a bag of 5 kilos of salt from Montecchio to Canossa.
-
I fixed it well and got on my way, but as I arrived in Canossa they stopped us.
-
"STOP! PASSWORD!" The password was "Torino. Avanti Toro!"
-
So we went to a something of a barn to sleep
-
and eat because we still had not had breakfast.
-
They gave us a nice big cup of milk with bread.
-
I was with my brother in the Stalin unit.
-
I wasn't called Bonifacio VIII in memory of Matile of Canossa,
-
but i called myself Horace.
-
In those days I only had Horatii and Curiatii on my mind.
-
And in fact in my mortal fight with the Germans (being mortal for them, not for me),
-
i called myself “Horace” because the Germans,
-
these gasoline-coloured men,
-
they had eyes of that colour
-
they seemed to be big warriors.
