But the core of it was the Cardinal Elia Della Costa, with his priests and nuns. And he basically, when the racial law came out, he went into the cathedral and… spoke against them, very bluntly. When Mussolini and Hitler visited Florence, he had all the windows and the ‘persiane’ [Eng. blinds], of the archbishopric closed, and no flags out. That was his order. And I learnt that the ceremony of the last March, the last 8th of March this year, 2016, the ceremony of Righteous Among the Nations of Monsignor Meneghello, that I had the [???] story repeated by the present Cardinal now, that he was – the Cardinal Elia Della Costa – was telling Monsignor Meneghello off, because he was trying to look down outside, to see what was going on in the Piazza del Duomo, with Mussolini and Hitler parading all around the place. And he said, “You must not even look! As far as we are concerned they are not here.”
