-What about your education?
I should consider myself a “War graduate” because I continued to take examinations at the Faculty of Architecture in order to obtain leaves to go back home during the military service and during the war.
Also architect Portaluppi, the Faculty dean, used to say: “Try to finish your studies quickly”. And when I told him that I wanted to work on a project, he insisted: “Forget the project, just make an "ex tempore" of your idea, so that you can take your degree despite the gloomy events approaching us”.
Milan was bombed, and I had to finish my studies in Architecture very quickly.
I didn’t obtain my degree by merit, but because of the war.
