The kind of reflection on the WWII, began later, during those years. During the 50’s you couldn’t hear anyone remembering, but during the 60’s it started to be discovered, to recall what had happened. The first time in Italy I was 14 years old in the first class of the grammar school, it was 1960, no, it was 1965. It was the twentieth anniversary of the Liberation. What we called the Liberation of Italy, that is, the end of the war in 1945 the partizan movement had won. And the Germans had been thrown out and so. But that year, twenty years later, it came from, there was a new government in Italy, a centre-left government. And the Ministry of Education sent a message, it was rather a directive: “In every class it must be remembered the anniversary of the resistance movement.” In my class, we where together, the teacher didn’t want to speak about it. He said: “I have nothing to say about it. Nothing good to say about the resistance movement. And so, if anyone of you want to speak about it, you can”. And I raised my hand and said “I will like to say something about it.”
