and telling them “remember that there’s a strike later, after you take the milk to the dairy, join in”.

-
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”.

I wasn’t thinking about this at 7 in the morning,
-
about my life being different at noon,
-
but my life did change, I felt more responsible… I felt like this even before,
-
I had been responsible in all the things I had done.
-
But after this it was different, responsibilities were different, and everything changed.

I was still Lidia, but let’s say I had a very positive experience
-
and I also felt proud for doing this.
