From that day, I’ve never been a member of the Fascist Party.
-
There were also other reasons which kept me from taking up membership,-.
-
such as the fact that the Fascist youth had to take part in military activities and all kinds of classes every Saturday,
-
an environment which I did not want to be involved in.
-
I went to live in Villa Rivalta and I wasn’t even seventeen when I started working at Officine Reggiane.
-
Even there, every day was a struggle.
-
It was unpleasant to have to show a Fascist membership card for everything,
-
and that’s another aspect which had me disagreeing with the fascists.
-
Anything you did, or whatever you might have needed,
-
you were always expected to have your Fascist membership card with you.
-
I did not believe in this and didn’t want the card,
-
so I was forced to use alternative methods, those I had learned from my family,
-
my parents and my two older sisters.
-
During the first three months of school we did writing exercises and we learned to count up to fifty.
-
Our teachers were not like the ones you might find today.
-
I remember that my teacher was from Casalgrande and walked all the way to school and back, poor woman.
-
Going to school was not considered too important.
-
Just take my case: as soon as I finished primary third grade, after I had failed second grade,
-
I stopped attending school.
-
It’s not like someone stopped me from going, it’s just that it was enough to learn the basics of reading and writing.
