Two brothers were in the mountains with the partisans of the Don Pasquino detachment,
-
another one was with the fascists.
-
I asked them what they’d do to this brother once the war was over.
-
They replied: “He’s with the fascists because we sent him.
-
He was a fascist and they were glad to take him, so now he sends out some weapons for us.
-
When we tell you where to go, just go there and he’ll hand you some stuff”.
-
The meeting point was a hotel behind the Riunite pharmacy.
-
I would go there, go inside and wait for him.
-
He’d arrive, hand me a small package, we’d say goodbye and leave.
-
Generally he’d bring handguns.
-
If there were only two handguns, I’d carry them alone. I had a big breast
-
and they would fit perfectly right in the middle…
-
I’d strap them to my waist and by bicycle I would get to Cerezzola,
-
to Currada, where I met Marco (Sergio Beretti’s battle name).
-
Sometimes I brought ammunition, other times salt, etc.
-
One day Maria Montanari’s cousin, who worked at the Reggiane plant,
-
had managed to bring out an airplane radio-transmitter.
-
It was big, and it was at my house.
-
It wasn’t a normal radio-transmitter.
-
It had a button you had to press, and during the war it was the one the armies had.
