Fiorello and I decided we had to do something about it.
-
We got together and devised our plan. We had to carry the curtain away.
-
It was more than 20 meters long, so we couldn’t transport it with a car or a small truck.
-
We had to find a suitable vehicle.
-
One of us found a truck in Rubiera, where he also came from, I think.
-
We had to wrap the curtain somehow once we had rolled it, to be able to hide it.
-
We thought about putting the curtain into one of those large pipes that where used for water.
-
One of us found a large copper pipe.
-
We had to lower the curtain, since half of it was still hanging.
-
Five of us went inside, together with two other blindfolded men,
-
one of whom we doubted being a theatre employee.
-
We had to use the wooden pulleys. They now use automatic ones.
-
Anyway, we lowered the curtain and slowly managed to move it. However another problem emerged.
-
In order not to be fined by the police for bringing such a large truck behind the theatre, one had to ask for permission.
-
I told them we had to bring out some odds and ends and that we needed the truck to load everything on it.
-
We were given permission and finally managed to load the curtain on the truck, although a small piece still fell out.
-
Then we had to think about where to bring it.
-
We opted for the area of Biasola, where Fiorello and I lived, so that we could keep an eye on it.
-
Finally we hid the curtain inside Villa Levi.
