Introduction, family, school
-
My name is Giacomo Notari.
-
I was born and still live in the mountains, in the town of Busana, in a tiny hamlet called Marmoreto.
-
I have always lived here, because the mountains are part of my soul.
-
I was born in a small hamlet of about 300 inhabitants.
-
Most of the people were small farmers who survived on subsistence farming.
-
It was the same for my family: we had some land, a few cows, chestnut groves and some woods.
-
Except for a few days during the war I never suffered hunger.
-
I had a brother who died as a partisan at 19, towards the end of the war.
-
I also had an uncle, who didn’t live with us but in Cervarezza,
-
who died as a partisan after being confined to the Tremiti Islands by the fascists.
