In the morning we went by my house, while nobody was there, because they were all meeting in a cattle-shed.
-
I picked up my bicycle and went back to San Bartolomeo, because I didn’t dare staying there, if somebody betrayed me.
-
So I left in the morning, I went to pick Zanti up and we went to Modena by bicycle.
-
She took me to Alfeo Corassoli,
-
where I met the famous lawyer Poppi,
-
and that’s when I started to be involved in the authentic partisan struggle.
-
I was like a sister to the partisans.
-
They all loved me and respected me.
-
It was amazing.
-
Staying with a family of peasants living in Saliceto San Giuliano, where I stayed 5 or 6 months, I felt like I was at home.
-
They didn’t even know where I was from.
-
They thought I was coming from the mountains near Bologna.
-
Only after the war did they find out that I came from Reggio.
-
Military actions
-
We had drawn together most of our forces in the lowlands around Reggio, around Limiti, Soliera, Carpi.
-
All the houses were with us.
-
There was actually a time when that area was called “free zone”, because nobody could get in.
-
However
-
the Nazi fascists had also been looking at that area, just like us.
-
At a certain point they decided to do a mop-up to free the area.
