"Palm" has decided: the future mayor of Crevacuore had already decided a long time. We will never know why: perhaps rejected in love, perhaps envious of a "normal" family, although tempered by war, or that benefit the poor Margaret had to withdraw in Vercelli. Maybe a slap received by his uncle Calimero Ricciotti a parade for the anniversary of the March on Rome to avenge a slap with many deaths, as we shall see later. Maybe he wanted to terrorize the country, as did other supporters to Collegno , where they were killed the Seamstresses of which I spoke some time ago, their only fault was to patch some fighters divided Republicans. Palm has decided and decreed the death of a coldly innocent woman, a mother of two children. We will never know exactly what they tried in those terrible moments Mother and Daughter, linked by a deep affection to an all 'other: we can only imagine. The little girl clings to her with all force as possible to the small age. Suddenly, Walter Marchesini, "Orlando" tries to tear it from Mom, but Alfa screams es' clings even more, but is then dragged by force, with knees that peel on the road, because as they said the partisans , and then wrote with pride, "Pity the 'is dead." Poor Ricciotti screams: "No, Noooo! Alfa! Alfa !!!!!" But Alfa is dragged away, and sees the mother held her by Girardi, sees palm speaking, perhaps it is the 'last thing he sees when the Orlando because his face and covering his eyes. He sees the sign of the Bussi Calvi and even that to Ugo Girardi, "Fanfulla" of just seventeen, that the poor woman might be her son. That, like many others, on the one hand and the 'other in those tragic years, had to obey. As at the Fosse Ardeatine, but pure evil, you know, it's just one part, because " values \u200b\u200bof 'anti-fascism " are one-way and no possibility of discussion. Fanfulla hesitates, but then must obey, and fired, first one shot and besides a burst of gunfire. One of the many machine guns that are hidden after the war, in view of the communist revolution. One of the many machine guns jumped out then you do not know how in the hands of "new partisans" Brigades Rosse, who made many victims in the name of ' militant anti-fascism in the 70s. Margaret, fell without a groan: the birds escape, the only witnesses to the cemetery with the dead, then silence, total.
Orlando holds always the little Alfa, which now does not scream anymore; Fanfulla still keeps his finger on the trigger, but in his heart comes a deep grudge against the boss, Bussi, the dreaded palm, which has given what 'order irrefutable.
Suddenly, as if the tragedy seems to have no end: "And now what do we do with this?" Is one, in return, another: "It 's a witness, no?". But Orlando, seventeen that he has often seen the little girl playing on the streets of the country, when he was just Marchesini Walter, as the teacher of the town, Luigina Degiorgis , Mrs. Maestra, he called him, he rebels. Perhaps the memory of things learned from the teacher who taught to read and write to all Crevacuore, and as a reward had the 'murder of her husband, the surveyor of the town Emiliano Degiorgis . For Christmas, always in the name of 'anti-fascism. Innocent, but to the partisans worthy to die. Orlando rebels at that 'infinite horror. Annoyed Palm shrugs, spits on the ground and says, "Then you take it away, Orlando."
But all this, the little Alfa is just a dream a nightmare full of evil orcs: soon will wake up and find the next mother, like every morning ...
Maybe he will wake up only twelve years later, in front of the corpse of Aurelio Bussi, said Palmo, a hero of the resistance and of 'anti-fascism. That before he fell, struck by the stolen gun to her husband, will have the strength to do more harm by giving it a punch. But this is a 'different story ...
