-
Not in my department or in the tooling department, where some of my friends were arrested.
-
From then on I started some soul-searching: what was I really doing?
-
I was working day and night to boost production for the war,
-
while war killed people.
-
I was shocked.
-
From that moment on I tried
-
to get in contact with the antifascists, but it was impossible.
-
It was already the summer of ’43 when I went to Sassuolo to visit a friend.
-
I knew him as an antifascist, hoping he could help me to become part of the movement.
-
He told me he couldn’t, since he was indeed an antifascist but he wasn’t organized.
-
There was another comrade in my department
-
who I was friend with, his name was Armando Grassi from Gattaglio.
-
I told him I wanted to be involved and I finally convinced him.
-
He put me in touch with a guy called Corradini,
-
whose name I actually found out only after the war, and that he was from Cavazzoli.
-
From then on I became active in the underground movement.
-
At the beginning I didn’t do much.
-
I really started after the fall of Mussolini, on the 8th of September.
-
After that we really began to look for weapons.
-
I lived 500 meters away from the rail tracks.
