Description

Luigi: A True Story of Survival and Sanctuary. 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, known as Luigi, made an extraordinary decision to walk from Padua in the north to reach the front-line in the south. During his arduous journey through the backwaters of Italy, Luigi was hidden and given sanctuary by two Italian farming families. Years later, he took his fiancée to meet them, a testament to the enduring bonds of friendship forged during his time as a fugitive. Sadly, despite surviving the war, Luigi's life came to an end in 1959, leaving behind a legacy of courage and resilience that was unknown to his Italian friends. This book tells the remarkable true story of Luigi, a Prisoner of War who defied the odds to survive and find sanctuary in Italy during World War II.
