Sentieri sotto la neve
Einaudi, 1998.
(Paths Under the Snow)
The snow has fallen abundant and has deleted the shepherds’ paths, the courtyards of the charcoal burners, the trenches of the Great War, the adventures of the hunters.
Under that snow the author’s memories live and quiver: sixteen short stories, collected in three sections, which are a trip down into the memory and give voice to a community, its customs, the nature, the living and the dead, not to forget the little things that are under the snow of time, languages, flowers, lost landscapes. A book against the oblivion of everyday life driven by the violent pace of the great History.
