What a captivating story! Your mom’s experiences during such a challenging time in Italy are both fascinating and inspiring. It’s wonderful how she turned a seemingly simple holiday into a lifelong passion for skiing and even taught others. The details about the partisans and the makeshift skiing equipment add a unique historical perspective. Thank you for sharing these stories and for introducing us to Substack and the talented artists and writers there. Looking forward to exploring more of your work!
