Emy DiMattia described life in Italy during the war, including censorship of letters, near execution for espionage, Gestapo imprisonment, and later work with OSS and CIC aiding the Allied effort. He related how Allied planes bombed nearby and how he narrowly escaped, eventually being ordained after studies resumed. He spoke at the Rotary Club meeting, noting mixed Italian sentiment toward the war but overall public support when Allied success persisted.
