"I willingly return to my neighborhood, I pass by it sometimes, it doesn't seem disfigured like others, nor devastated by speculation or by the carelessness of men. It was also lucky not to suffer much damage from air raids, unlike the city centre. We were on the other side of the Polcevera stream and the large factories, I lived in via Campi, right at the beginning of the neighborhood. We were proud to be from Certosa. It was called that because there was a Carthusian abbey. One of our feasts was San Bruno, the founder of the Carthusians. The church, the large porticoes, were a value. In our parish there was the musical band, all the branches of Catholic Action, sporting activities, because the field was large, it was a recreation center on the example of that of San Carlo in Milan. (p. 14)"
