Abstract

"The Rebels on the Mountain" was a historical fiction larp set during World War II and inspired by the Marzabotto massacre of 1944, a grievous episode of retaliation against civilians for the surging guerrilla resistance towards the end of the conflict.
The plot revolved around life in a fictitious mountain village in central Italy during the last days of Nazi occupation, where the personal stories of freedom fighters, Axis soldiers, and common folk entwined towards a dramatic ending. It wasn’t meant as reenactment and it lived its own story, with an open finale. Several facts and characters were inspired by actual historical ones, however, and special care was put in recreating the hardships of life in wartime, like food rationing, or rough camping in the woods for the partisans. The authors did their best to explore the obvious political theme with impartiality, showing the dark sides of all parties involved.

Tools: 360-illusion, pre-written characters, blank-firing guns (honor system).
