Bicycle with an improvised explosive device left at a mountain check-point
World War (1939-1945)
Nino Zanninello has been stopped by two of the soldiers manning a mountain check-point. One of the soldiers is holding onto the right handlebar of a bicycle, whilst another soldier is asking him questions and taking down notes.
Caption reads “108”; signed by the author; caption reads “Novembre 1944. (2). …..Avuto notizia che al posto di blocco i nazifascisti requisiscondo le biciclette prive di permesso: Nino vi si reca per escogitare il suo piano. Giuntovi gli vengono richiesti i documenti, lui dice di averli dimenticati a casa e asserisce di andare a prenderli, e con rapida mossa preme il detonatore sotto la sella, e con fare rammaricato si avvia a piedi verso la valle, mentre la bicicletta viene prelevata e appogiata alla baracca da un Tedesco…..”
Caption translates as: “November 1944. (2) … After hearing that Nazi-Fascists manning checkpoints confiscate all bicycles ridden by civilians without papers, Nino went there to devise his plan. As he approached, they asked for his papers. He said he forgot and left them at home and that he would go back to fetch them. Meanwhile, he rapidly pushed the timer button under the seat. Then, looking dispirited, he headed back towards the valley on foot. The German soldier collected the bicycle and placed it on one side of the hut…”

Partisans attack a mountain check point
World War (1939-1945)
A group of partisans under cover behind rocks in the mountains are firing on a check-point. The figures below have been taken by surprise and are running around holding guns in the air. Two of the four partisans behind the rocks are firing with rifles and the one on the left is about to throw a hand grenade.
Pasted caption reads “Novembre 1944. (3) ….segundo i piani prestabiliti i partigiani attaccano in posizione altistante il posto di blocco costringendo il presidio a rintanarsi nella baracca portandovi seco anche la bicicletta sequestrata….”
Caption translates as: “November 1944. (3) … Executing prearranged plans, the partisans attack the check-point from above, forcing the garrison to hide into the hut, taking with them the previously confiscated bicycle…”

Nino Zanninello hides an improvised explosive device inside a bicycle
World War (1939-1945)
In a mountain landscape, a man disassembles a red bicycle. The frame hangs from a tree. Parts and tools are scattered across the ground.
Caption reads “107” and “Novembre 1944. (1) L’inverno si avvicina a grandi passi e necessitano i rifornimenti in viveri armi e munizioni per i patrioti dei monti, ma i passaggi obbligati sono bloccati dai posti di controllo nazi-fascisti la situazione per i garibaldini si fa oltremodo grave. Nino, al secolo Zanninello Nino da S. Giorgio Di Nogaro, ordisce un’audace quanto ingegnosa beffa da giocare a uno di questi posti di blocco, siamo nella zona goriziana, Nino con la collaborazione di alcuni compagni, eseguisce con cautela il ripieno del telaio di una bicicletta, con una buona dose di tritolo, applicando sotto la sella un detonatore a scoppio ritardato…….”
Caption translates as: “November 1944. (1) The winter was approaching quickly and the patriots on the mountains needed food, weapons, and ammunitions. However, the choke point were controlled by Nazi-Fascists guard posts. The situation worsened for the Garibaldi mens. Nino, also known as Zanninello Nino from San Giorgio di Nogaro, conceived a bold and clever mockery against one of the checkpoints in the Gorizia area. Nino, helped by some of his companions, carefully stuffed the bicycle frame with a good amount of TNT. Under the seat, a timer was attached…”
