Introduction, family, school
-
My name is Giacomo Notari.
-
I was born and still live in the mountains, in the town of Busana, in a tiny hamlet called Marmoreto.
-
I have always lived here, because the mountains are part of my soul.
-
I was born in a small hamlet of about 300 inhabitants.
-
Most of the people were small farmers who survived on subsistence farming.
-
It was the same for my family: we had some land, a few cows, chestnut groves and some woods.
-
Except for a few days during the war I never suffered hunger.
-
I had a brother who died as a partisan at 19, towards the end of the war.
-
I also had an uncle, who didn’t live with us but in Cervarezza,
-
who died as a partisan after being confined to the Tremiti Islands by the fascists.
-
On the other hand, my family was a traditional Christian and catholic family.
-
My father used to sing in church.
-
I have never served at Mass, although they had asked me, because I didn’t like to dress up.
-
But we used to go to Mass, at least on Sundays.
-
We had an elementary school up to the third grade, then we had to go to Busana for the fifth grade, by foot of course.
-
There was no water in the houses, only a small fountain in a chestnut grove everyone drew water from.
