After I had a son and a family of my own,
-
I told him what I had gone through when I was seven.
-
So every year at Easter, he brings me a huge Easter egg.

Liberation of Reggio Emilia
-
After we had blown up the bridges we were to go to Reggio with our unit,
-
to the “Buco del Signore” district, to find out what the situation was.
-
At 8 the 26th Brigade would arrive to enter the city.
-
My duty was to blow up the bridges to stop the Germans,
-
then leave on the 24th and reach Buco del Signore.
-
We blew up all the bridges.
-
At 5 in the evening I was there with my unit.
-
I had left the mountains, a lovely family, and we were all crying for our separation…
-
The brigade arrived at 8. At 10 we headed out
-
and Luigi ordered me to place myself at the head of the brigade
-
to monitor the situation and proceed slowly to avoid mines or traps.
-
We entered the city slowly and arrived at the San Pietro gate.
-
We crossed the ring road and there was an Allied column on the road:
-
they were eating - we didn’t know what that was, chewing gum -
-
and you couldn’t hear them walking by as they had rubber under their shoes, while we made so much noise.
-
We went in from San Pietro and reached the centre.
