Stefania: well mister Pisano. Thank you for your courtesy. I want to ask you something about the period of the Second World War in Padula. Do you remember something about this period? Pisano: yes. I was 10 years old. I was a child, but I remember the airplanes flying on my house and I remember their sound. I usually saw the airplanes on Padula. Stefania: well. I think that it was horrible for a child. Do you remember something about an airplane's crash? It was at September 9,1943. Pisano: yes. I don't remember the exact date, but I remember the airplane. Stefania: well, do you want to tell me your memories? Pisano: I was a child. I was 10 years old. I worked with my father in our field. I remember that I heard a sound and I saw three airplanes. They were coming from the north, from Sala Consilina. Stefania: three airplanes? Are you sure of that? Pisano: yes, three airplanes. They flying all together. Suddenly I heard shots and I saw that two airplanes were damaged. Stefania: what happened? Pisano: I remember that the pilot of one of two airplanes ejected himself out of the airplane. I don't know where the airplane crashed. The second airplane was mainly damaged. It fell over a field. The airplane bounced twice and it crashed over the Ferrigno's field. Stefania: I think that it was terrible for a child. What happened then? Pisano: I went to Ferrigno's field. I saw the airplane crashed and I saw a person, probably the pilot, to come out the airplane. I think that he had a fractured leg. At the same time I saw many person running to the field. 1 understood that they were Germans. I hid myself. Stefania: and then? What happened then? Pisano: a German picked up his handgun and he killed the pilot. It was terrible. Then they came away. Stefania: my God. Do you remember something else? Pisano: yes. Two person, Antonio e Vito Cimino, came on the field. They buried the pilot. I ran away. It was terrible. The war is terrible. I can't forget what I saw. Many years after this event I know that the Americans came in Padula. They took the body of the pilot and they brought it in America. Stefania: well mister Pisano, do you know if there is other person who remember something else about this story? Pisano: no, I don't. They are all died. Stefania: thank you mister Pisano.
