On May 1st 1944, partisans Dino Ferrini and Mario Nuti attempted to disarm a German car with some soldiers on board in the vicinity of Talla (Ar).

Ferrini was a labourer from Talla; Nuti, born in Florence, was an evacuee in Salutio, Castel Focognano (Ar). They were members of the IV Compagnia, III Btg. "Licio Nencetti", XXIII Bgt. “Pio Borri”, Arezzo Division. Mario Nuti is buried in the Shrine of Fallen Partisans in the cemetery of the Misericordia at Rifredi, in Florence.
