one of whom we doubted being a theatre employee.
-
We had to use the wooden pulleys. They now use automatic ones.
-
Anyway, we lowered the curtain and slowly managed to move it. However another problem emerged.
-
In order not to be fined by the police for bringing such a large truck behind the theatre, one had to ask for permission.
-
I told them we had to bring out some odds and ends and that we needed the truck to load everything on it.
-
We were given permission and finally managed to load the curtain on the truck, although a small piece still fell out.
-
Then we had to think about where to bring it.
-
We opted for the area of Biasola, where Fiorello and I lived, so that we could keep an eye on it.
-
Finally we hid the curtain inside Villa Levi.

Sabotage at the airfield
-
One night we stripped the machine guns from three airplanes in the airfield.
-
Before we set the airplanes on fire we removed their three famous 7-7 guns, which were very powerful anti-aircraft weapons.
-
They were bolted to the bearings, in order to rotate,
-
but we took them down and then set the aircrafts on fire, all three of them.
-
The machine guns had no tripod though. Fiorello was very good in mechanical work.
-
He had worked at Bagni’s in Via Toschi, manufacturing and repairing scales, he built the tripods himself.
-
Once he was stopped by a Black Brigade near the cemetery of Via Cecati while he was taking one home.
-
They asked him what that thing was. He replied that he was taking that tripod to the dairy in San Bartolomeo.
-
Fortunately they let him go, since he had two guns on him.
-
I told him what would have happened if he was searched. He replied: “I would have done like Tomix (a movie hero fast with his guns)”.
