in a restaurant in Prampolini Square, where we had… a thin soup.
-
We were poisoned by all the cheese we had been eating.
-
We had eaten cheese and bread or bread and butter for months,
-
even though I was luckier since I was always moving around, on the hills, in the lowlands.
-
We would be eating with the families then, and that meant enjoying a totally different meal.
-
During the night we set up an outpost in Santo Stefano,
-
with our headquarters at Pecorari’s, a bicycle producer.
-
The following morning I told the others I had to leave
-
for a couple of hours to go to the central headquarters. It was a lie.
-
I went to visit an uncle who lived close by, borrowed a bicycle and went home.
-
Near the Via Emilia, they had known about the Liberation before.
-
When I arrived at home, in Cella, it was 9:30 or 10, and they had just found out.
-
I was one of the first partisans who had come back.
-
It was a disaster.
-
I couldn’t stop crying since I had always been very sensitive.

My father was telling people to let me go: “He didn’t die in the mountains, do you want him to die here?”

Afterwards I went to the well,
-
washed my face with some cold water and straightened myself up, then went back to Reggio.
-

-
They arrived in Reggio, together with those from Pieve Modolena, Cavazzoli, etc.
