Nome di battaglia Donna

During the Resistance, in November 1943, the “Women's Defence Groups for the Assistance of Freedom Fighters” were formed. These groups organised demonstrations to demand peace in the city and in the municipalities of the province; the women collected clothing for the partisans, made flags and armbands, the older ones knitted woollen socks and jumpers, the younger ones became gappiste (female partisans), couriers or took up arms. Marisa, Carmen, Carla and the other protagonists of this story took part in the Resistance in Piedmont, and now they recount that period, illustrating its difficulties, commitment, losses, growth and achievements.
