There had already been some in other places.
-
I was a member of the committee who prepared the strike,
-
we got together quite a few times,
-
the last meeting was at my house.
-
My father agreed, so we had the meeting and assigned the tasks.
-
Alberta and I got together early in the morning (we had already handed out all the leaflets)
-
and went to Montecavolo, stopping by all the farmers’ homes who were milking the cows,
-
and telling them “remember that there’s a strike later, after you take the milk to the dairy, join in”.
-
“Alright, yes, we’ll be there”, they replied.
-
And we gathered together. The strike went well.
-
The farmers (in Montecavolo there were mostly farmers) and some factory workers, went on strike,
-
so the strike in Montecavolo was a success.
-
The strike was against the war, against all the things they were doing to us, against hunger too.
-
They were taking everything from us, we pooled wheat.
-
Farmers had to bring wine, grapes, everything, they were taking everything.
-
That’s why afterwards there were even some casualties
-
when we went to these stockpiles to take back all the stuff they had taken from us.
-
My father told me that morning of the 1st of March:
-
“Lidia, you’re doing the right thing because it’s important,
-
but you must remember that your life is going to change after this”.
