Except Swiss/French (not Italian) under his later-famous

Geno was a man of great courage. Since he was a bicycle racer he could be expected to be out riding all over Italy. So he along with a large number of other Catholics would smuggle Jews out of Italy or get them to relatively safe locations. Bartoli would carry the plans and schedules for their movements rolled up in his seatpost. If he had been caught in Fascist and later NAZI controlled Italy he would have been put to death.
