During the Resistance, in November 1943, the “Women's Defence Groups for the Assistance of Freedom Fighters” were formed. These groups organised demonstrations to demand peace in the city and in the municipalities of the province; the women collected clothing for the partisans, made flags and armbands, the older ones knitted woollen socks and jumpers, the younger ones became gappiste (female partisans), couriers or took up arms.
