European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
I heard about the partisans and I simply went up to the mountains and joined them, that's all.
-
I went to my family living in the Gardenia quarter in Reggio Emilia.
-
It was a reaction, yes, i had two brothers in the army.
-
One was in Germany and we didn't know anything about him,
-
the other one took a different way but we didn't know anything about him, either.
-
It was just very, very sad.
-
They were happy that I'd come back but they kept thinking about the other two that were missing, too.

Army and war
-
I started military service on March 9th, 1940.
-
I went to Trieste and then right off to the Yugoslavian border.
-
I stayed there until September 8th, 1943,
-
shooting and being shot at and so on.
-
I have been all over Yugoslavia,
-
I was in the 151st regiment of infantry of the Brigata Sassari.
-
There were only a few people from Emilia and many Sardinians, many from Calabria,
-
poor guys with little schooling, mostly illiterates.
-
In fact I became a sergeant because I had gone to elementary school,
-
I had some knowledge, I was able to read.
-
I mean, I was a bit more than a poor silly guy like them..
-
They were having a hard time; they didn't know how to write.
