Our modern walkers are the pilgrims of the past. And their journey today as then is the expression of the universal desire to free oneself from the slavery of every subjection and to redeem oneself from the misery that oppresses one. The theme of Camminanti is immigration, the most relevant social phenomenon of this end of the millennium. The story narrated spans the entire century and questions contemporary contradictions and contaminations: therefore a research on contemporaneity with roots in memory. All the characters (Abdel Aziz from Egypt, Sayed Eli from Kurdistan, Maxim Maricica from Romania etc.), in some way, are emigrants; we followed them on their journeys, through their paradoxical, visionary, grotesque stories, at the limit of the possible but, despite everything, real. And all the stories make up a single dramatic, hilarious, at times tragically comic tale.
