We didn't know the place so we decided to spend the night there
-
and leave the next morning. Slowly,
-
avoiding the main roads and the villages, we went up to the hills.
-
We reached Nironi, Vairo, Palanzano,
-
all those villages that we'd heard about but had no idea where they were.
-
If we asked people they would all say:
-
"No, here we don't know anything, we don't see anything,
-
we don't even know who the rebels are ..."
-
So slowly, slowly we proceeded uphill and were quite desperate because we had lost ...
-
We had some coins in our pocket but not many.
-
At night there always was a problem of where to spend the night, at some peasant's house.
-
But it was dangerous because the fascists would come and get you.
-
So we arrived at Corniglio
-
and we met this lady who was sitting outside her house knitting.
-
We asked her: "Lady, we're looking for partisans, the rebels ..."
-
Up there they didn't even know who the partisans were and we didn't have a proper term for them, either.
-
So she said: "Look, there is a house up there, there is a man with some people,
-
I don't know what they're doing, I don't know if they're workers or somebody else.
-
If you want to go up and have a look ..."
-
So we went to see and in fact it was a group of rebels led by that man.
