-
The headquarters agreed, so I trained this group.
-
We were able to take care of three or four actions at a time in a group of 12 men.
-
At the same time we reduced the risk, unfortunately some of us got killed at times.
-
If I was killed there would have been nobody left.
-
We did the course and it was successful.

Building up of „Fiamme Verdi“ brigades
-
From the day of the first air-drop to the end of July
-
we increased from around fifty to more than a thousand men.
-
There just wasn’t enough time to organize ourselves.
-
For example they set up a detachment and position it in an area, without knowing who these partisans were. That was a problem.
-
They decided to set up a unit called “Fiamme Verdi” (green flames),
-
and went around asking for people to join them. They asked me, too, since I was a catholic.
-
I didn’t go since I liked being with the “Garibaldini”.
-
That day, the Fiamme Verdi brigade was formed,
-
with Don Carlo as commander and, later on, my dear friend Aldo Dall’Aglio second-in-command.
-
He died on the Prampa on the 10th of January after the mop-up of the 7th.
-
He had also asked me to join them.
-
Maybe it was a good thing I didn’t go,
-
since all those who were second-in-command or in other positions in the “Fiamme Verdi” died in battle.
