A thousand people, a thousand young people with courage. In a thousand, one. A magnifying glass looks at the Battle on the Volturno. It is 1860 and the story takes place where the river slows down in the "Terra di Lavoro", a group of young people from the north of the Peninsula crosses Italy. At the center of the work is courage, a sense of belonging and the need to belong, the dawn of a story that will shift the course of history. After the death of his grandmother Maria, Pietro collects the objects that his grandmother always cared about, including an ancient diary. It is the travel diary of Aristide Panseri, a Garibaldian. The events are told through the diary and narrative flashbacks. The boy left his family, traveling with his friend Milesi until he is alone. Aristide is wounded, a young woman saves him, hides him in the cottage where he lives and medicates him. Pietro understands that it's his grandmother Maria. The two live a love story that will be interrupted because Aristide will yield to a sense of duty. There remains the memory that passes through time, a cap remains, a tombstone remains, but nothing is as far away as it seems. Written by Gaetano Cucciardi See less
