What prompted Nicola and jacopo to look after their sister Lucia and what did they do for her?
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.
