He recognised me and said: "Are you the guy from Magnani?

You came to install my radio, remember, I live in Gavasseto ..." "Yes, I remember".

So we loaded up all the stuff and went.

The partisans were staying at Capanne di Succiso.

After lunch they divided into groups

and me and my friend Pancio found ourselves in different groups.

I asked him "Where are you going?"

"They put me here, you're going with the Cervi group".

I told him I wanted to stay together with him, we were like brothers,

we couldn't stay in different groups with people we hardly knew.

"Sbafi "was the commander and "Mario" was the commissioner.

So I went to them and said: "Look, we are like brothers, you can't divide us".

And they said "Ok, no problem, where do you want to go?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as we are together".

So they put us thogether in the Cervi group and before evening they came and told us:

"Now you go up the the Cerreto-pass to block the street".

Ceasefire

As for the ceasefire, I remember

that there was this little wall in front of our house

next to the road where we always stopped for a chat.
