If they came inside they would have killed us.
-
Then we moved out of the house and towards the hills. There the battle took place.
-
They lined up behind a hedge and started shooting. Fiorello was shot in the heart and died there.
-
We had started shooting because one of our comrades had run away
-
as the truck came in the courtyard. His name was Francia.
-
Instead of coming inside the barn, he ran towards the fields and was shot dead as well.
-
They had shot one of our men, and that’s why we had to shoot back.
-
We ended up killing all those who were inside the truck.
-
At night we went back there to collect Fiorello’s body.
-
They were waiting for us during the day.
-
We wrapped him up in a piece of cloth and took him to the cemetery of Codemondo
-
where he had his family tomb, then celebrated his funeral amongst us.

Using a bazooka
-
We also tried to use the bazooka. It was something new for us.
-
But Fiorello was a genius regarding these matters. He looked at it and examined it,
-
and one day he told us he wanted to try it on the road to Cavriago.
-
I bent down and he put the bazooka on my shoulder to manoeuvre it.
-
He fired as a truck went by. That was 6 kg of explosive. The truck went off the road…
-
That was also part of our struggle…
