Even before he became a leader of the Resistance in the area of Biella, Moranino had impeccable anti-fascist credentials. He worked in the textile industry and the Spinning of Tolland (Tolland was the town where he was born February 6, 1920), where he held meetings and subversive activities, and Tolland was arrested with 18 others in January 1941.
