So she gave me the grapes for free.
-
She was like a mother, she asked me where I came from
-
and she said that the Germans were coming up from Jesi, from Ancona,
-
and that they were seizing the soldiers.
-
I went back and talked to the other seven fellows from Reggio Emilia.
-
Three came with me, we went home,
-
we had a hard time but after eleven days we reached our homes walking and by train.
-
We wanted to be home by September because then there would be grapes and figs,
-
there would be something to eat, whereas there was nothing at the place we were staying.
-
In Reggio I stayed at some poor peoples' house.
-
The villa in front of the house where the landlord was living was full of Germans.
-
I stayed there, hiding, with little to eat, nothing to smoke, it was hard.
-
Connected through a friend of mine, I went to help a peasant harvesting grapes,
-
stayed there two-three days. Then they sent me back home,
-
they paid me for those couple of days and then his grandfather didn't want me around anymore because I'd escaped.

It was terrible.
-
I spent some more time hiding in Reggio without money,
-
without anything, under the curfew, it was a terrible life.
-

-
I went to my family living in the Gardenia quarter in Reggio Emilia.
