Dì Renato Del Din, primo caduto dell’Osoppo, sotto la cupola aveva organizzato, un laboratorio segreto, da dove partivano i materiali, per le formazioni in montagna. Una radio trasmittente quella del gruppo del maggiore inglese Niconlson [Nicholson], funzionava spesso senza tante precauzioni. Il gruppo “Baracca” e il Comando della piazza, si stabilirono quasi in permanenza al tempio, i confessionali, le pedane dell’organo, l’organo stesso erano piene di armi”.

Caption translates as: “January 1945, Udine. For many months, the ossuary church, stronghold of the “verdi” men of the Osoppo partisan Brigades, was the place of abode of two priests, Father Albino and Father Giorgio. They lived amidst weapons and provisions. They gave shelter to a partisan from Colugna, who was later killed by the Germans. Renato Del Din was the first fallen of the Osoppo Brigade. He had set up a secret workshop under the dome, supplying all partisan units in the mountains. A radio transmitter belonging to the unit lead by the British Major Nicholson, often operated without many precautions. The “Baracca” unit and the local command operated down in the church almost permanently. The confessionals, the organ platforms, and the organ itself were stuffed with weapons.”]]>

Excruciating pain because of tight ropes that stopped blood, buckets of cold water, even more beating. He pleads Rebez: “Shot me, please”. Rebez replied “We’ll slowly kill you”. High fever, they gave her to drink brine mixed with urine and oil, dangling idle like a cloth, then punches and kicks again. The butt of a rifle fractured his skull, they also fractured a rib. 18 hours of further tortures dangling from that hook, the he was sent to cell 2 until the 13 of February, then to cell 8 with others.

re-purposed basements beneath substantial buildings; and small, private, concrete structures. Reminisces about heavy bombing which destroyed his home, how they were temporarily housed inside a tunnel and his subsequent life as an evacuee in the countryside. Narrates an episode in which German soldiers showed appreciation for piano music and later came back to enjoy the homely atmosphere of his flat. Describes the conflict as a relatively care-free period: his parents tried in every way to protect him from the horrors of war while farmers provided non-rationed supplies. Bombings were an unavoidable consequence in the state of war.
