whereas here they wanted to know name and nickname.
-
There were three of us, we took also one from Puianello,
-
he was working in the pastafactory Cuccolini.
-
They told us to find a nickname and Pancio said:
-
"I want to have the name of a fighter: Pancio!"
-
I told him: "Pancio was a fighter, from South America, what's his name ..."
-
I wanted to have a more subtle name.
-
So the other one said: "I want to be called Viper".
-
"Why viper?" "Because it's scary".
-
So I chose Volpe (fox). A fox runs fast and if there's danger it runs and saves itself.
-
That's the story of the nickname Volpe.
-
Another reason was that I thought that there must have been only few people called Volpe.
-
In fact there was a Volpa in the Rosselli detachment
-
but my name was Volpe, and that it stayed.
-
Some changed their nickname from one place to another,
-
not so in my case, I was fine with it and always kept this name.
-
I'd chosen it because of the speed of the fox, an animal that runs fast.
-
That was the reason for the name Volpe, my one and only name.

Bruna and the fleet

Bruna is one of the "staffette" (partisan couriers) who helped to save me.
