Historique

  1. Francesco Bertacchini was born on June 24th, 1926 in Reggio Emilia. As a young apprentice in a radio and gramophone shop he discovered his love for music and his aversion to the fascist regime because of the restrictions he had to suffer from in his daily life. After the armistice of September 8th, 1943,aged 17 he and his best friend went to the mountains looking for the “rebels”. They were willing to become a rebel themselves and eventually succeeded, joining the 144th Garibaldi Brigade. Francesco took part in actions in the area of Succiso and Cerreto, attempting sabotage actions against the German troops on the road number 63. He was part of the “Antifascist” unit and of the “Cervi” unit with the nickname “Volpe” (“Fox”) and by pure chance was not involved in the Legoreccio massacre of November 17th, 1944, in which all his companions were killed. He took part in several actions in the Enza valley and in fights in Bibbiano, Barco and Cavriago. As he found himself surrounded by German troops he crossed the river Enza in October, 1944, and reached the territory of Parma first and Piacenza later. He took part in the Liberation of Parma and reached his home town Reggio Emilia in the night of April, 24th, 1944, when the city had already been liberated.

  2. Francesco Bertacchini nasce il 24 giugno 1926 a Reggio Emilia. Da giovane apprendista presso un negozio di radio e grammofoni scopre il suo amore per la musica e la sua avversione al fascismo a causa delle restrizioni che un ragazzo subiva nella vita quotidiana. Dopo l’armistizio dell’8 settembre 1943, a soli 17 anni, assieme all’amico del cuore, sale in montagna a cercare “i ribelli” e ne diventa uno all’interno della 144° Brigata Garibaldi. Compirà azioni nella zona di Succiso e del Cerreto tentando sabotaggi alle pattuglie tedesche di stanza sulla SS63. Con il nome di battaglia di “Volpe” è operativo all’interno del distaccamento “Antifascista” e “Cervi” e, per una pura casualità, non sarà coinvolto nell’eccidio di Legoreccio del 17 novembre 1944 in cui vengono uccisi tutti i suoi compagni. Ha compiuto diverse azioni nella Val d’Enza e combattimenti fra Bibbiano, Barco e Cavriago. A causa dell’accerchiamento tedesco attraversa il fiume Enza nell’ottobre del ‘44 e passa prima nel territorio parmense e poi in quello piacentino. Partecipa alla liberazione di Parma e nella notte del 24 aprile ‘45 arriva finalmente nella sua Reggio ormai libera.
