We stayed there two days, before someone suggested we should get on a train to Padova and then to Ponte Lagoscuro,
-
since trains were able to pass the Po river there.
-
That’s what we did: we went to Padova, then to Ferrara, and finally made it to Bologna.
-
In Bologna we were supposed to stay in a barrack for two days,
-
but I went out with two or three comrades and we managed to find a SARSA bus.
-
We asked the driver if he was heading towards Reggio and if we could hop up, and he happily consented.
-
In Castelfranco, however, the ticket inspector kindly told us that we would have had to pay the ticket fare.
-
We replied that we had no money at all,
-
so he agreed not to make us get off, but once in Reggio
-
we would have had to go to the SARSA offices together.
-
When we got in he said:
-
“Boss, these men haven’t paid the bus fare because they claim they’re coming from Germany”.
-
The reply was: “You really are a moron, I told you they have every right to go back to their homes!”.
-
He really got scolded.
-
At that point we started walking with two others from Correggio.
-
We knew nothing at all, I had no news of my family, so we inquired with the director of SARSA.
-
We walked home, something that was still quite common back then.
-
When I reached the point where today you find the ACM, I was tired and stopped to rest for a while.
-
A woman came by on her bicycle, and asked me if I was the son of Mr. Porta.
-
I told her I was, and she said: “You’re late!”.
