Heroes of the Resistance: The Italian Partisans in Their Own Words
Show Notes

Matthew Collins spoke with some of the remaining heroes of the resistance. The Italian partisans he spoke with were messengers and fighters, saboteurs and agitators against Nazism and fascism on Italian soil. Now elderly, each and every one of the antifascists that Matthew spoke with said they would again suffer the pains they felt in their youth again today, if it was needed to see off a new far-right threat. Those that Matthew interviewed have dedicated their lives to helping teach children of the dangers of fascism as a part of the antifascist institution ANPI (the Alliance of Italian Partisans). Each and every one was a hero, with stories of incredible bravery against their cruel enemy.

Those interviewed are:
-Gino Boldini (RIP)
-Elsa Pelizzari
-Rosi Romelli
-Romano Colombini
-Linda Tridenti
