my father and the bailiff had a small dispute, so I got fired and was left unemployed.

I went to the employment agency to get a job at the Reggiane mechanical plant.

They kept telling me to come back the following month.

But every morning for the following forty days, I turned up at the employment agency before they opened.

I guess I wore them out, because one morning they finally told me to come inside.

They were going to let me work at the Reggiane.

The Reggiane mechanical plant was

the most important weapon factory in the whole region.

Quite frankly, I was a catholic and went to church. For me it was all about this, work and church.

I had never been interested in politics.

Even at the time of the laws against the Jews, I didn’t follow the issue much.

I was a passionate worker.

I was even doing research to increase production.
