Parma, 05/04/1944
Dear friends, now it's up to us.
Let's get to the other three glorious fallen comrades for salvation and the glory of Italy.
You know the task that touches you. I am dying, but the idea will live in the future, bright, big and beautiful.
We are at the end of all evil. These days are like the last days of a big monster that wants to make more possible victims.
If you live, it's up to you to redo this poor Italy is so beautiful, that has a sun so hot, so good mothers and girls are so dear.
My youth is broken but I'm sure that will serve as an example.
on our bodies will be the great beacon of liberty.
