since we were seventeen or eighteen.
-
As I walked in, others were already inside.
-
I started to explain to them how we were lucky that the number of socialist countries was growing,
-
thanks to the Soviet Union – they had just occupied Sweden, Norway and Lithuania at that time – and how great the Russians were.
-
Come morning, a tiny man called me over and asked me where I was from.
-
I told him I was from Reggio Emilia, so he told me:
-
“Are you really sure about the things you were saying last night?”.
-
I thought he was crazy.
-
He was a professor from Milan, whose name was Lonato. We were in great terms after that.
-
With us, there were also prisoners from Parma.
-
I’m not saying I liked it there, because it was always confinement.
-
However I was younger than the others, and I understood that this was an advantage.
-
I was with a man called Bonini, from Villa Seta, who was around forty-five years old
-
and had a wife at home, renting a small farm and taking care of the kids:
-
that was a lot harder, but he always managed to take care of things rather easily.
-
Then I finally came home from confinement.
-
I had been given some documents which I was supposed to bring to the police.
-
When I went there, I knocked on the door (we already knew how it worked)
-
and the person inside asked me who I was.
-
As I replied “Porta”, he told me to go out.
