European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
I remember that my wife lived in Coviolo.
-
Some Germans arrived in her courtyard
-
with hens, rabbits, and were laughing when they arrested the soldiers who had surrendered.
-
You have to remember that the Germans arrested and
-
sent to Germany more than 600,000 soldiers on the 8th of September.

Presentation: family, church, work
-
My name is Fernando Cavazzini, partisan Toni.
-
I was born in Reggio Emilia, in the hamlet of Villa Cella, on the 23rd of September 1923.
-
My father was a cobbler, just like his father.
-
My mother was a housewife and at times a day-labourer.
-
I had an older brother, who was born in 1915.
-
He was also a cobbler.
-
My sister Margherita worked as a day-labourer or in the rice-fields.
-
Another sister was a dress-maker.
-
My father was an antifascist,
-
although he wasn’t really organized in the antifascist movement.
-
Nobody in my family was a fascist,
-
but they weren’t organized, apart from me. I was in “Azione Cattolica” (Catholic Action).
-
When I was twelve, Don Luca Pallai, who was Villa Cella’s parish priest and later also joined the Resistance,
-
kept pressing my parents to send me to study to become a priest.
