"It doesn't matter, as long as we are together".
-
So they put us thogether in the Cervi group and before evening they came and told us:
-
"Now you go up the the Cerreto-pass to block the street".

Ceasefire
-
As for the ceasefire, I remember
-
that there was this little wall in front of our house
-
next to the road where we always stopped for a chat.
-
I remember that as they announced these news around 5 p.m.,
-
the news that the war was over, my sister screamed at me:
-
"Hey, Francesco, they said on the radio that the war is over
-
but now there will be discussions with the Germans ..."
-
So I went upstairs because in our house I was the only one in possession of a radio,
-
so I went to listen. They said something
-
about the cease-fire with the Americans so the war-thing was expected to be over,
-
but it was starting right in that moment instead, especially for us.

-
we couldn't go anywhere because we were being controlled everywhere we went,
