There was always one there, but that day a man had been killed.
-
So there was a group of fascists walking from San Maurizio towards the hospice,
-
where the local fascist headquarters were. They had laid a boy who was slaughtered
-
on an improvised stretcher, and walked towards the hospice singing:
-
“Allarme siam fascisti” (Call to arms, we’re fascists).
-
The checkpoint at the hospice was right by the railway crossing.
-
They took my bicycle. That bicycle was everything to me.
-
It was a young girl’s Ferrari.
-
The problem was I was carrying a bag with some partisan stuff.
-
I immediately held on to the bag real tight and started to scream and cry.
-
It was all an act, although I was also a little bit afraid.
-
A fascist stared at me for a while, then took my bicycle and threw it at me.
-
We both fell on the ground, the bicycle and I. I got back on my feet quickly, and he told me:
-
“Do not ever come around here again”.
-
I can still remember his boots were very tall. He seemed like a giant to me. That’s how it felt then.

-
These groups were the first important women organizations.
-
It was the women themselves who spontaneously set them up.
-
These groups had specific purposes.
