We went on the street as we saw a soldier and we escorted him out of danger,
-
since there were road blocks everywhere.
-
Our old men even carried them on the crossbar of their bicycles for a while,
-
so that they could rest a little and stay out of trouble.
-
You realize immediately that it’s something terrible.
-
That the antifascists were right in what they were saying.
-
Still, until then, we hadn’t been helping people for political reasons.
-
We were rather doing it for humanitarian principles: as a woman, you saved another woman’s son,
-
that’s what got us to face danger, too.
-
From that moment, however, I realized that it had to be something conscious.
-
I never pulled myself out anymore in regards to all the things I was asked to do.

Our school organized a contest for the best drawing.

To paint it, I mean, to color it with crayons if you don't have the hand for it... I mean, if you're not careful, it won't turn out well...
-
but actually it turned out to be very beautiful
-
and it was selected as the best drawing of our elementary school in Castelnovo di Sotto.
-
We were called to the Ausoni theatre for the award ceremony.
