-
It was fourteen months of battle.
-
Deportation of the father and friends
-
At that point I see a fascist, a German van driving up the hill.
-
Since all peasants were at the strike… the van proceeds further up…
-
they went to Aleotti’s house instead and set it on fire (the Aleotti family was at the strike).
-
Somebody had betrayed us immediately, since in Montecavolo there were many fascists.
-
They betrayed so that the strike went well in Montecavolo and not in the other towns around Reggio
-
because, if this had happened in the whole Province, fascists and Germans would have had a lot to do!
-
They focused on Montecavolo, while in Rivalta the strike didn’t work out
-
because somebody was telling people “not to go in order not to get killed”.
-
It could have been so, but these battles had to be done,
-
they were part of what we were fighting for.
-
We had to fight in order to get rid of all this.
-
At my home they arrested Antinea, Liliana and Narciso, the only ones they found.
-
Narciso was ten, he would turn eleven in September and we were in March at the time.
-
Later on they brought him back home, keeping Antinea and Liliana under arrest.
-
My mother had stayed at home with the younger ones,
-
as Beatrice who was 5 (she was born in 1939),
-
and they had bagged some things to save them if they came to burn the house.
-
They arrested everybody.
