European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
We need to pass on our memories to keep this alive, in order to move forward,
-
that’s what the country needs.
-
Because after all we did, all our efforts, we still have subversive forces in Rome,
-
we have Alessandra Mussolini, Fini, Berlusconi and Bossi, we don't support these reactionary people.
-
That’s why we want to tell our youth that in these times we must fight together,
-
and as much as we can, although it will never be enough, we’re here for them.
-
Partisan every day life; political commissars, why antifascism?
-
The last memory I have of my brother was after the mop-up of 1944.
-
With this song that went “The moon, the stars talked about love”.
-
It was hot then, they used to sing it on the radio.
-
“Oh what a pretty flower, oh what a pretty flower”.
-
That was the last time we were singing together, because he died
-
soon after in Ligonchio, near the house where I met my wife.
-
What did we do?
-
Cleaned the guns, some helped fixing the meals, another one went to get water.
-
Then at night we also talked, about the few things we knew.
-
We had political commissioners we listened to, but after the war I realized that they didn’t know much as well.
-
I have to say that their knowledge, their political culture was quite limited.
-
I couldn’t live my life anywhere else, I would really have a hard time.
-
That’s how I felt during the war too.
