Description

All began with the random discovery in the attic of the house, of an old cardboard suitcase, which spurred the author to tell, through a journey in time and memory, the story of a peasant community, from Pietracupa, a small town of Molise, where his father was born and from where, at age 14, he left for Rome in search of fortune, bringing with him only that cardboard suitcase. The author, in his stories, examines the early twenty centuries peasant world, its characters, its values, its poverty; tells of mass emigration which began in late 19th century, the reasons for the depopulation of Italian villages and he himself is actor and spectator of the events of the last 75 years of world history, describing facts, events and tragedies involving the world, analyzing them with the eyes of the child first, with the look of the adult then, and now with that of an old man; the stories unfold like an historical film, about how we were and how we are.The author ends his travel, returning in the lonely and desert village of his childhood and this will be an opportunity to regain his childhood memories and to reflect on the values of life.
