I really flew into a rage in 1938,
-
as my brother was arrested.
-
He was arrested for being a subversive.
-
That’s how the regime labelled those who didn’t agree with the Duce.
-
The Communist party underground network was constantly growing.
-
The young subversives organized themselves house by house.
-
The Communist leaders had already been arrested a long time before and sent to confinement.
-
Therefore it might have seemed that there was no leadership left.
-
But there was this network,
-
as fragile as it could have been which was secretly growing thanks to the words and the work of these young men.
-
If there were two people one day, there were three the following one,
-
since they were finding more and more people who were tired of fascism.
-
In 1939 my mother died.
-
She couldn't face the situation any longer when the landlord sent us a letter
-
telling us that she could not maintain an antifascist family.
-
I was fourteen and both my parents were dead.
-
Then we had to leave everything, all our friends and all we had.
-
We moved to Gazzata di San Martino in Rio.
-
We were lucky to find a landlord willing to give us a piece of land to farm.
-
I guess they already knew we were antifascists.
