European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
Some soldiers were on the bus, we got them off and disarmed them:
-
they gave us their weapons without resisting and didn’t get back on the bus.
-
They began to walk, maybe they were heading home.
-
This didn’t cause any trouble.
-
Then a fascist who had been evacuated to Montecavolo came out of a house
-
(we were in the main road, by the square, with the strike, our posters, etc.)
-
He started shooting with a machine-gun, into the air at first.
-
I think he also had a gun.
-
Many of us ran after him. We finally caught him and disarmed him.
-
We didn’t really hurt him, let’s say that nobody did anything that would have got him killed.
-
Somebody might have kicked him, but everything was ok.
-
The strike was over, we kept the weapons and sent them to the mountains and broke up the strike.
-
In noon, in Montecavolo there was already a curfew, people couldn’t go out of their homes.
-
We were already at home,
-
since we were on our bicycles, and there were about 3 or 4 km between Montecavolo and Scampate.
-
Beginning of the clandestine work
-
From the 8th of September I began to know where the comrades were,
-
in order to go and warn them that they were going to be arrested again.
-
For example, Felice from Puianello, they sent somebody for me to go inform Alfeo Viani
-
that they were already on the list of those who would be arrested again.
