-
I was like a sister to the partisans.
-
They all loved me and respected me.
-
It was amazing.
-
Staying with a family of peasants living in Saliceto San Giuliano, where I stayed 5 or 6 months, I felt like I was at home.
-
They didn’t even know where I was from.
-
They thought I was coming from the mountains near Bologna.
-
Only after the war did they find out that I came from Reggio.
-
Military actions
-
We had drawn together most of our forces in the lowlands around Reggio, around Limiti, Soliera, Carpi.
-
All the houses were with us.
-
There was actually a time when that area was called “free zone”, because nobody could get in.
-
However
-
the Nazi fascists had also been looking at that area, just like us.
-
At a certain point they decided to do a mop-up to free the area.
-
They were going to do it with such forces, machine guns and heavy ammunition.
-
They would have more or less destroyed our whole organization.
-
We met at the headquarters and decided we had to leave.
-
As usual it was the dispatch-rider who had to face this battle,
-
in order to go and inform all our comrades, otherwise they would have been slaughtered.
-
If they couldn’t be ready in time, they could at least withdraw before they all got killed.
