Ada Buffulini (28 September 1912 – 3 July 1991)[1] was an Italian medical doctor and anti-Fascist campaigner, who led the resistance movement at Bolzano Transit Camp during the Second World War.
Personal life
[edit]Buffulini was born in 1912 in Trieste, Italy.[2] Aged 18, she moved to Milan to study medicine.[3] She graduated in 1936.[3] She met her husband Carlo Pierino at Bolzano Transit Camp, as they had both been deported there.[4]
Campaigning
[edit]Buffulini joined the Italian Socialist Party after the September 1943 Air raid on Frascati.[3] She moved underground in Milan in November.[3]
On 4 July 1944, Buffulini was arrested in Milan.[2] She was at the house of Maria Arata, attending an Italian Socialist Party meeting.[5] The whole group were taken to San Vittore Prison,[5] where Buffulini was held for two months.[1][3] She was then deported to Bolzano Transit Camp,[1][2][3] where she worked as a doctor in the Lager infirmary.[6] Buffulini led the resistance movement at Bolzano,[3] and kept in communication with Lelio Basso.[3] At Bolzano, she also met Communist leader Carlo Venegoni.[1] In February 1945, the SS locked Buffulini up in the cells.[1]
In 2008, a road in Bolzano was dedicated to Buffulini on the 63rd anniversary of the liberation of the Bolzano camp.[1][2]
