“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.
-
A bus was coming down from San Polo and we stopped it, telling them there was a strike, that they had to go back.
-
Some soldiers were on the bus, we got them off and disarmed them:
-
they gave us their weapons without resisting and didn’t get back on the bus.
-
They began to walk, maybe they were heading home.
-
This didn’t cause any trouble.
-
Then a fascist who had been evacuated to Montecavolo came out of a house
-
(we were in the main road, by the square, with the strike, our posters, etc.)
-
He started shooting with a machine-gun, into the air at first.
-
I think he also had a gun.
-
Many of us ran after him. We finally caught him and disarmed him.
-
We didn’t really hurt him, let’s say that nobody did anything that would have got him killed.
