In 1943, following the Armistice in Italy, many Prisoners of War
were released by their guards but found themselves fugitives in a
country over-run by the Germans. One such prisoner was known in
Italy as Luigi. Realising that the Allies were not yet in his part
of the country, he decided to walk from Padua in the north to reach
the front-line in the south. During the course of his arduous
journey through the backwaters of Italy he was hidden and given
sanctuary by two Italian farming families. In 1949 he took his
fiancee to meet them. Sadly, having survived the war he died in
1959 leaving his Italian friends unaware of his tragic death.
