I was born on January 23rd, 1920 in Reggio Emilia.
-
My father was a poor worker who already had eight children.
-
I have lived a somewhat hard life, I went to elementary school
-
and then started working immediately.
-
My life started troublesome, but I'm still here and I'm happy.
-
My father was an old Socialist,
-
the gave me this name, Camillo, beause of Camillo Prampolini,
-
the “father” of all the poor illiterate peasants.
-
I was an apprentice upholsterer,
-
an artisan, I was making sofas, armchairs and matrasses.
-
Fascists? I rather remember them as assholes more than as fascists.
-
As a young guy, I was a member of the Young Fascists
-
and my friend, a foreman, asked me:
-
“Why didn't you come to the demonstration?”
-
Since we were old friends, I told him I had stayed in bed, since I was better off there.
-
That stupid guy went to report me to the fascists
-
and they gave me castor oil and beat me up in 1939.
-
I went to the Army, I stayed away five years
-
without talking to him, then a common friend came up to me and said
-
“Look, that guy … “ and I told him that I didn't even want to see that stupid guy.
