European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
Grandi, a lawyer, was our great accomplice in Viano.
-
He had prepared a wonderful lunch for our whole “Gufo Nero” unit and also for the English who were with us.
-
We were a very large group of people.
-
Before we finished eating they asked me to go find out if we could move forward.
-
You could still hear many shots, the Germans and the fascists were still around armed and were trying to resist.
-
We were quite worried. We had lunch there, then I left.
-
That’s why I’m not in the picture the boys took when they arrived in Scandiano.
-
I was walking ahead in order to see if there were any dangers and eventually go back to inform the others.
-
But there were no problems at all, so I went on and they did the same, all the way down.
-
When we made it to Reggio it was early evening.
-
We had passed by Buco del Signore and arrived in Reggio in high spirits.
-
When we arrived in Reggio it was incredible, wonderful.
-
I don’t know if people thought that the war was over or if they still feared that it would go on,
-
but I’m sure that everybody was just as happy as I was.
-
The following day my sister and I went back home right away, since she had not seen our parents for a year.
-
Together with my older brother we had gone to see our sister often,
-
although one time we had to go 10 km away since she was afraid to come back home.
-
Everybody knew she was involved in the Resistance, so she was afraid to come back and be arrested.
-
That’s why we went home as soon as the war was over, and that was it for us.
-
We stopped moving around and immediately got back to work at home.
