Later I went on working with Kiss. Since we were all women, he suggested I could choose a man’s name,
-
so I was given the battle name Giorgio and that’s the name I always used.
-
Sister joins the partisans
-
My sister joined the partisans after she had an argument with our mayor.
-
She declared she would join the partisans from Carpineti because she wanted the war to end. She was furious.
-
Did I tell you she was supposed to take my father’s place in jail?
-
One day, when she didn’t see my father come back, she went to find out
-
that my father had been sentenced to three days in jail.
-
She said that my father had to go home because he had a family to support, and she would take his place.
-
In the end they let them both go, after two days instead of three.
-
My father had slapped the mayor,
-
or I should say the podestà, that’s how he was called then.
-
When they came back home, my sister was really furious.
-
My father could not work as he wasn’t a member of the fascist party,
-
and the only one who brought home any money at the time was one of my brothers,
-
who had been working in the seminary for a long time then and was paid every two weeks.
-
My little sister also served in Parma. She was nine or ten years old, and went with a woman.
-
In the morning, she tended to little household affairs, in the afternoon she went with the contessa, who was a very old woman. She worked with the Red Cross.
-
Then she took her to the hospital. She was crazy about treating the wounded, treating people -- it was a real passion for her. It was because of this she joined the partisans.
-
And she was a nurse. She did whatever she could. She would give injections and take care of things. In short, she served the people.
