      PITTSBORO — It was more than seven decades ago, but Siglinda Scarpa can still remember the “big boots” and harsh voices of Gestapo soldiers who came pounding on the door of her home, looking for her father, Geo.

      Scarpa was just 4 or 5 years old at the time. She lived with her family in Novara, Italy, a small town not from Milano. Geo had been the leader of an acrobatic air squad of the Italian Aviation, but when Italian dictator Benito Mussolini allied with Nazi leader Adolph Hitler, he deserted.

After members of the secret police force came looking for her father, Scarpa’s mother, Giovanna, escaped to warn her husband.
