-
I left and headed down Morane street to Paganine,
-
a village towards Bologna, towards the mountains.
-
When I got there, I went on for a kilometre and I found the Germans already retreating.
-
Cows, carts, horses, bicycles, they had a bit of everything.
-
They stopped me. I couldn’t move on.
-
“I have to go”, I told them. We always found an excuse, an ill brother or telling them we lived there and had to get back.
-
But there was no way. They wanted to take my bicycle and forced me to go back.
-
I had to wait for the agreed time to meet with the other comrades,
-
where all got together, all those who had left to transmit the orders.
-
We met and then helped those who had to defend the city and those arriving.
-
That was the only mission I didn’t complete.
-
Meeting Carmen Zanti
-
We went to Carmen Zanti’s home in Puianello.
-
She was one of the leaders and had been in the party for years, together with her father, who had been in France, etc.
-
That famous Zanti who was shot at the Zucchi barracks.
-
The party had given her that duty; she was organized and already had contacts in Modena,
-
and she did move weapons around, together with my sister-in-law Iside Viani.
-
We went there and I found an agreement with her.
-
In the morning we went by my house, while nobody was there, because they were all meeting in a cattle-shed.
-
I picked up my bicycle and went back to San Bartolomeo, because I didn’t dare staying there, if somebody betrayed me.
