At that point I just lost the light of reason.
-
That was my luck, since I reacted in a very aggressive way:
-
“You’re a scoundrel, I went to pick up a gun?
-
When I got there you asked me for my ID card, you took note of my name,
-
and as you saw I lived in Reggio, you said you knew my brother…”
-
I had to say this, since my brother had already gone to the mountains, it could have saved me.
-
“You told me I had to bring a gun to him, but how could I say no to you?
-
You had a gun, I only had a basket of eggs in my hand”. I was very mean.
-
So he said I was right, and took back what he had stated.
-
They asked me to sign the minutes. I couldn’t tell what they wrote on it.
-
My cousin and I signed.
-
Then they told us we could go home, but they wanted to speak to us again the following morning.
-
So I said: “Listen, I’m afraid to stay at home.
-
Every night I go to San Bartolomeo to my cousin’s, she’s the local fascist secretary. Can I go there?”
-
My cousin said the same: “I usually go with her, or to my mother’s, would you let us go there?”
-
They told us we could.
-
I got home and Mafaldo Chiessi, who was also an antifascist
-
and in charge of communications between Reggio and Milan, told me:
-
“Are you joking? You can’t stay here. Tomorrow they’ll torture you.
-
Today was only the beginning. Things will be different tomorrow, trust me. Don’t think that they won’t come to get you.
