I don’t have that card now: it was given to me when we had to go to the mountains with the wounded man,
-
all the way into the province of Modena, before I came home alone and my sister stayed there.
-
I left after no more than two days, I had to go see my parents.
-
So I really can’t recall if my first battle name was Libertà or Volontà.
-
My sister’s battle name was Foresta, and she was given that name right away,
-
just like me, but I didn’t keep it long enough to bother knowing it.
-
There was also this other boy from Parma who was in Busana, in Castelnuovo,
-
and that’s where we were handed these documents that I don’t have anymore.
-
Later I went on working with Kiss. Since we were all women, he suggested I could choose a man’s name,
-
so I was given the battle name Giorgio and that’s the name I always used.
-
Sister joins the partisans
-
My sister joined the partisans after she had an argument with our mayor.
-
She declared she would join the partisans from Carpineti because she wanted the war to end. She was furious.
-
Did I tell you she was supposed to take my father’s place in jail?
-
One day, when she didn’t see my father come back, she went to find out
-
that my father had been sentenced to three days in jail.
-
She said that my father had to go home because he had a family to support, and she would take his place.
-
In the end they let them both go, after two days instead of three.
-
My father had slapped the mayor,
-
or I should say the podestà, that’s how he was called then.
