Soffitto di vetro.

Aspettiamo sempre.

On this day, 20 June 1944, 43 Italian partisans and civilians were shot by a Nazi firing squad in Fondotoce, near Milan. The group had previously been arrested, tortured and forced to walk seven miles behind a banner reading "Are these the liberators of Italy, or are they bandits?" However, one of the partisans survived. Carlo Suzzi fell with two other partisans when he was first shot and wounded. Then when a Nazi came to deliver the final coup de grace to ensure they were dead, the bullet just grazed his head. Suzzi waited under the bodies of his comrades until nightfall, at which point he walked up the hill until he found a house and knocked at the door and collapsed. He woke up some hours later finding himself bandaged up, as an old man named Carlo Bariatti found him out the door and brought him inside. Suzzi soon rejoined the partisan fight against the Nazis under the nom de guerre "43".

“La cosa più bella che puoi sentire in una persona é la voglia di averti, il desiderio di vederti, il bisogno di esserci. É sentirsi importanti per qualcuno, sentire che sei quel che ha reso migliore la sua vita.”
