Primary Evidence

"Leonardo is examined by the doctor on the day of his seventh birthday. On May 22, the doctor of the office of hygiene and health - Division III - Assistance of via Statuto - declares him "fit for admission to the orphanage" because he has a strong and robust physical constitution and is free from "superficial defects.""

"He was given the same name as his father. He was taken to the orphanage when he was seven years old. The lively youngest child needed guidance, as he was at serious risk of becoming a street kid, exposed to a thousand dangers. Grazia was never there. She was a factory worker. She had to work to feed the boys. She left early in the morning and returned late at night. She didn't know who to leave the little one with. She feared that by standing in the street all day, a "misfortune" could happen to him, as stated in an anguished letter sent to the orphanage in March 1942, in which she requests to accept "the shelter" of her son in the institution."
