European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
They had a machine gun nest not too far away,
-
we put two groups there, one on each side of the bridge, in order to work untroubled.
-
And we did work untroubled, placing 45 kg of TNT, sort of like chewing gum you know?
-
After that we set the fuse and set it on fire.
-
We walked down a bit because rocks would be falling down
-
-
and well I went back to see after the war was over,
-
and not only did we blow up the arch, but also 2-3 meters of road on both sides, because 45 kg are a lot.

When they arrived they had to do a horse-shoe, that’s why it was important to stop them.
-
Stopping them from getting to the front 24 hours earlier during the attack,

and forcing them to dig the mountain, build a horse-shoe in order to be able to get through:

those things you had to do with hoes, there were no bulldozers then.
-
Attempt to arrest a German marshall
-
One night we went to Acqua Bona with Carretti
-
and many partisans because we had to apprehend a German marshal
-
who was taking milk away from the farmers, sending it out to the headquarters in Busana.
-
The villages were full of people, the inhabitants had asked us to go take him.
-
Caretti ordered us to wrap up our shoes with some bags in order not to make noise,
-
but it didn’t work because the villages were full of shepherds and they had dogs.
