Introduction and youth
-
My name is Francesco Bertacchini,
-
I was born in Reggio Emilia on June 24th, 1926.
-
That was a very bad time,
-
we couldn't go anywhere because we were being controlled everywhere we went,
-
it was very nasty. We were friends with this guy called Benito,
-
the son of Benito Foscato, the worst fascist of Zanichelli Street,
-
where we have grown up as kids.
-
So we always had to be very careful about what we were saying
-
because he would go and tell his father who would call us to the headquarters.
-
It was a dog's life, you had to take care whom you were dealing with.
-
One day our friend came home dressed as a fascist.
-
At first he seemed on our side.
-
We could not express our ideas because we knew
-
that he would always agree with us but in the end
-
he always would go to tell his father what we'd said and done.
-
In fact, in the end it turned out that he'd enrolled as a volunteer for the Black Brigade:
-
to us it was a shock because we could have been put to jail.
-
You could not trust a person like that.
