European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
I always say that we were born old, but we also grew day by day.
-
You might have forgot about the things of today, but then you’d start thinking about what the future held for you,
-
and at the same time you couldn’t forget the things you had to report. My head was spinning the whole time, thinking.
-
I would leave Reggio and I would start thinking, remembering all the things that I had not written down.
-
As I made it to Albinea I would be thinking again, then in Casina, in order not to forget, until I finally made it up there after a full day.
-
I think that women helped a lot during the war.
-
Otherwise, how could all these men know when things were happening?
-
Sometimes we would even use children, getting them to run somewhere and tell the partisans to run away because the Germans were coming.
-
We did whatever we had to do then. But women were really important.
-
I’m not saying this for myself: as soon as the war was over that was it, both for me and my sister.
-
Even my husband was a partisan, but he joined the Resistance in his village.
-
He was with Casoli, the one from Berzana.
-
When the war was over he went back home too,
-
actually he was already there, doing whatever they could as partisans, running away when they had to.
-
In order to carry important documents, however, you really needed people who were willing to run.
-
We didn’t even have bicycles,
-
so we would just walk along the road every time we had to bring people to the mountains, depending on where we picked them up.

The Day of Liberation in Reggio Emilia
-
On the 25th of April we came down from Baiso and stopped to eat at Grandi’s house.
-
Grandi, a lawyer, was our great accomplice in Viano.
