-
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.
-
Then we set up some outposts.
-
I went to eat with my unit and others
-
in a restaurant in Prampolini Square, where we had… a thin soup.
-
We were poisoned by all the cheese we had been eating.
-
We had eaten cheese and bread or bread and butter for months,
-
even though I was luckier since I was always moving around, on the hills, in the lowlands.
-
We would be eating with the families then, and that meant enjoying a totally different meal.
