Sinopsis
Invited by her niece Angelina to share the memories of his childhood, Ernesto Roso (Valli del Pasubio 1897-Trent 1981) recounts an important part of his life, the young age, the wanderings caused by the World War I, on the Pasubio and Ortles, and the need to work, the emigration; dramatic events, hardships, sacrifices, ideals shared with Angelina and now with the reader that meets both through the pages of this book.
The writing of Angelina, which in many ways can be approached to that of Natalia Ginzburg, introduces and accompanies us along the way that his uncle Ernesto, brother of her mother Marianna, draws in countless stories over the years of living together in the Muredei Street house n Trento. Angelina expresses them with deep affection tones, sometimes with poetic vein. The volume, edited by the grandchildren Alberto and Stefano Giovanazzi, also collects a significant part of the correspondence between Angelina and Ernesto and between them and the relatives in Italy, in the US and in Australia. In the appendix, a brief but intense text Severino Gottardi, brother of Angelina, closes the family memories.
