European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
We had places we went to, we called them “recapiti” (addresses), where I brought things for everybody:
-
in Carpi, in Fossoli, in the lowlands where we had all our partisans.
-
I carried the stuff there and the dispatch riders then carried it to the “recapiti”.
-
There were various dispatch riders.
-
At the local headquarters I was a secretary but I also had two dispatch riders there.
-
One was Carmen (battle name) and the other Vera, who was from Yugoslavia.
-
They were assigned to the headquarters of the brigade.
-
That’s what the partisan struggle was about.
-
Fourteen months of actions.
-
If it wasn’t everyday, there was something one night, something else the following and the one after too.
-
I did this the whole time, continuously.
-
If I wasn’t typewriting, I was riding my bicycle going all over the place, to Bologna or other towns.
-
More or less constantly: these actions, these deaths.
-
Because there were battles, casualties too.
-
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.
