 The first inmates arrived 14 July 1940, their number varying over time as a result of the numerous transfers between camps.Conditions in this camp were better than in most other camps, inspections of the Red Cross taking place and inmates receiving international aid through DELASEM.The work of Moses Ricci was even reported in October 1940 by local fascists for being too bland and sympathetic to the inmates, who enjoyed greater freedom of movement and with whom the local population tended to fraternize.
