Summing up

IC Foligno 5, Belfiore-Colfiorito, Italy

We decided to propose our italian 'special' hero... We preserve him in our heart because of 1) his humility 2) his passion for his job 3) the great heart and courage During the Second World War, he performed services for the Jewish community. Being a cyclist, he secretely took documents from Florence to Assisi (here in Umbria) and viceversa, pretending to make exercise with the bike, following the paths on the mountains (to avoid nazist guards). He hid documents and papers in the barrel. He was subjected to many inspections and once he was captured and imprisoned for few days. But fortunately he succeded in being released. After his death, the Jewish community officially recognized his precious help. But during his life, he never demanded the right value for his contribution. He saved the life to many people.
