-
I had a cousin who had been incarcerated, his name was Nello Strozzi.
-
And then also my boyfriend’s brother.
-
Me and my boyfriend had started dating when I was eighteen,
-
he was of the Viani family, his name was Alfeo.
-
Introduction, childhood during fascism
-
My name is Lidia Valeriani.
-
I was born on the 23rd of January 1923
-
in Montecavolo di Quattro Castella,
-
in a small hamlet called Scampate.
-
Awful fascist times.
-
My father was a victim of political persecution.
-
I had two brothers older than I,
-
and six more followed, making us a family of nine brothers.
-
As soon as we started to go to school,
-
we already understood that things were different for us children of antifascists,
-
compared to those of the fascists, who were enrolled in the “Balilla”, in the “Piccole Italiane” - the fascist youth organizations.
-
I noticed and realized this when I was six,
-
and I started asking my father why we were considered differently from the others.
-
My father tried to explain it to me, as best he could since I was still a little girl.
-
He would have never enlisted us in the “Piccole Italiane”, or the boys in the “Balilla”.
