Gigetta ascoltò dietro l'uscio, finchè udì il passo del padre dileguarsi per le scale, poi aprì e fece per uscire. – Dove vai? – le gridò dietro la siora Catina, con quella sua voce un po' stridula, che non faceva punto paura a sua figlia. – Tutto il giorno lì; e lo sai che il tuo papà non vuole – brontolò senza convinzione la mamma. E già Gigetta era fuori, sul pianerottolo. Fece in due salti, con le sue buone lunghe gambe di tredici anni, le due scale al piano superiore e tirò il vecchio campanello di ottone, canticchiando un'arietta per prendere pazienza a aspettare.

On March 24, 1944, Nazi occupation forces in Rome killed 335 unarmed civilians in retaliation for a partisan attack the day before. Portelli has crafted an eloquent, multi-voiced oral history of the massacre, of its background and its aftermath. The moving stories of the victims, the women and children who survived and carried on, the partisans who fought the Nazis, and the common people who lived through the tragedies of the war together paint a many-hued portrait of one of the world's most richly historical cities. The Order Has Been Carried Out powerfully relates the struggles for freedom under Fascism and Nazism, the battles for memory in post-war democracy, and the meanings of death and grief in modern society.
