At night there always was a problem of where to spend the night, at some peasant's house.
-
But it was dangerous because the fascists would come and get you.
-
So we arrived at Corniglio
-
and we met this lady who was sitting outside her house knitting.
-
We asked her: "Lady, we're looking for partisans, the rebels ..."
-
Up there they didn't even know who the partisans were and we didn't have a proper term for them, either.
-
So she said: "Look, there is a house up there, there is a man with some people,
-
I don't know what they're doing, I don't know if they're workers or somebody else.
-
If you want to go up and have a look ..."
-
So we went to see and in fact it was a group of rebels led by that man.
-
We said we wanted to join them and they welcomed us.
-
"If you want to come out on patrol with us, otherwise you can wait here".
-
We said: "No, we want to come". So we did, one group here, one group there.
-
When we came back we went to this barn,
-
which was transformed into a hideout,
-
and there were butter and cheese and a lot of great stuff.
-
One woman was making tagliatelle for the whole team.
-
Wonderful! We were not even used to eat this dish at our own homes!
-
After lunch, when we came back, the head of our team told us:
-
"Go to the houses where the ladies are and invite them here so we can dance and have a chat".
