Death of Primo Del Pol ‘Villa’. Part 2

In a barren churchyard, a man dressed in brown is being pushed out of the door and beaten by a Fascist soldier with a rifle-butt. Others are watching or pointing guns at him.

Label reads “168”; signed by the author; caption reads “(2o) …ferito si rifugiò nel campanile della Chiesa del paese dove veniva caturato, rifiutatosi di dare informazioni, lo finivano a colpi d’arma…”

Caption translates as: “(2)… He was wounded and found shelter in the town church’s bell tower. He then refused to provide any information; so, he was killed by gunfire…”
