He is a straightforward man and he has a lot of trust in the leadership of Mussolini and is ready to die for him.

After Italy entered world war 2 he was more than happy to serve his country and help his country. He is a loud man with good leadership skills but sometimes he is a bit cowardly when outnumbered. He dislikes Germans and Hitler but he is willing to do anything it takes to serve Mussolini.

Writing Sample:

It was quite like everyone was dead. Not a word anywhere. Antonio reassured himself nothing was going to happen. Making sure his pistol was thingyed and ready to go, he slid through the ruins like a snake looking at every possible action he could take. Taking a long breath he looked around..still nothing. Both satisfied and frightened he continued.

He was on a mission. He and 2 other men were dropped behind enemy lines in the dead of night to secure a small outpost in the middle of the battlefield. 1 of the men had been shot while they were running through and the other had injured his leg and Antonio had to abandon him. Guilt was running through his mind. He left his best mate in the middle of a war torn area. God knows what might happen to him, Slavery..Death, But it was too late to think about it now. Suddenly the light caught the attention of his eyes. He reached the outpost.

He sighed with relief as he found it. He didn't have much left in him. He was walking on raw willpower and determination alone. He tried to find people inside the tower-like building. He cursed, there was about 10 to 15 men. He couldn't face them at least not alone...memories flooded his head of his past. His brother died because of an reckless attack in the army to the allied forces and his parents were devastated. He didn't want the same to happen to him. He was thinking of feeling

He tuned around as heard a noise. Sweat poured down his body like water. He shuffled to the side. Took his pistol and got ready. The noise came closer. He knew it was the time. He peeked out a hole in a ruin of a building he was hiding behind, he saw about a division of soldiers. Assuming they were allied forces he turned around and shouted ''In the name of the great nation of Italy'' and started shooting blindly to scare them off..maybe. After he had no more bullets he stared at his so called enemies found them to be a battalion of German soldiers.

He dropped on his knees. Feeling scared to death. He started to daze out. He didn't think any of the German's notice him and they were preoccupied with the allies. He could hear the allied soldiers coming out the tower and for the last thing heard gunfire.

Woke up. Still blurred out Antonio thought for sure he was a goner. Did he die?..Prisoner of war maybe..when he cleared up he saw it was a German medic. He had dozed for about 5 hours. When asked for an explanation he lied and told that he was shot in the back by allied snipers. The Germans let Antonio go as they weren't allowed to do anything to Italians die to the Pact Of Steel. He walked back to the nearest HQ feeling satisfied with his work.
