 Reaching a village on foot Arcovazzi tries to ask for help at the local fascist party cell ("Casa del Fascio") where they only manage to find a couple of teenagers, armed and fanatized by fascist propaganda (which tried to mobilize even students and youngsters for its cause) who, doubting Arcovazzi's sincerity, shower him with questions only a true-blue fascist can answer.Arcovazzi's naive enthusiasm seems to finally pay off when he answer all of the boys' questions, but the last one leaves him in dire straits (being based more on historical knowledge of the Classical world rather than the agit-prop slogans Arcovazzi is at ease with); with the two kids' fingers on the trigger it's Bonafe (being a dean of Humanities, thus knowledgeable in the subtleties of the Greek and Roman world) who comes to the rescue of his 'jailer', suggesting him the correct answer.Confiscating a tandem bicycle and a pistol Arcovazzi is able to resume his odissey, until the former bursts a tire.
