So the other one said: "I want to be called Viper".
-
"Why viper?" "Because it's scary".
-
So I chose Volpe (fox). A fox runs fast and if there's danger it runs and saves itself.
-
That's the story of the nickname Volpe.
-
Another reason was that I thought that there must have been only few people called Volpe.
-
In fact there was a Volpa in the Rosselli detachment
-
but my name was Volpe, and that it stayed.
-
Some changed their nickname from one place to another,
-
not so in my case, I was fine with it and always kept this name.
-
I'd chosen it because of the speed of the fox, an animal that runs fast.
-
That was the reason for the name Volpe, my one and only name.

Bruna and the fleet
-
Bruna is one of the "staffette" (partisan couriers) who helped to save me.
-
We were to meet between Barco, Bibbiano, Montecchio and Cavriago,
-
where the railroad was, around midnight.
-
We arrived at eleven o'clock,
-
so we told the "staffetta" that we would go to a peasant's house nearby,
-
and asked her to watch out and to call us when they'd arrived but to be careful.
-
Around midnight she came to us
-
and told us the other partisans had arrived but they were dressed in white.
