It would never have occurred to Emilio Lussu and Gianni Rodari.

There was a time when the Italian anti-fascists were people of the race of Emilio Lussua heroic fighter of the First World War on whom he will write a masterpiece entitled A year on the plateau, the founder of the Sardinian Action Party, one who when on November 1, 1926 a crowd of fascists attacked the Cagliari house in where he lived, he struck with a rifle the first of them who had climbed a railing, at which the squadristi retreated.
