It speaks to few, it does not break through any screen, it does not accept commercial breaks, it cannot be shouted, it feeds on pain. But it is made of flesh, it knows no special effects except that, yes, of conscience and emotion, it keeps people in the square, those ...

Alice has passed through those parts. In her search for herself she has met the D...

Confused, scared, he tries to answer questions too big for him, and it is precisely when the effort becomes almost ridiculous that memories emerge and take us on his journey.

I have been researching and collecting materials on brigandage for years and I could continue for years without finishing, given the enormous amount of documentation on these figures. I chose to deal with the three borders between Basilicata, Campania and Puglia, because they represented for the bandits a triangle of easy crossing for ambushes, escapes and shelters. In the period between 1860 and 1866 alone, there were thousands of brigands in th...
