In his account, he tells about the different organization of partisan groups and the harshness of war. The interview continues with a focus on his post-war work as a mechanic in Racconigi and Turin. Mr. Marinetti highlights the anti-union and anti-communist retaliation and his approach to the Communist Party, the party for which he has been mayor of Racconigi for several terms.
