Describe the dedication with which Nicola and Jacopo look after their sister. (100-120 words answer)
Answers
The war had destroyed their family and home. Before the war
they had been living a happy life. Their father was killed in the early part of
war. Shortly afterward a bomb had destroyed their home and thrown them into the
streets. They suffered horribly from near starvation and exposure to the cold
winter. When the resistance movement started they were among the first to join.
When the war was over, and we had peace at last, they came back to their
beloved sister. And they found her suffering from tuberculosis of the spine.
The two brothers did everything they got to earn to pay for the medical
expenses of their sister’s treatment. They did various menial jobs such as,
selling fruit, newspapers, shoe-shining, running errands, showing the visitors
Verona as guides, etc.
