“I’m glad you want to listen to these stories,” Simona Rosa, a woman over eighty, told me. “I know so many that I could tell you about them for days and days. But if you want to understand them completely, you have to imagine what life was like when I was young. Innanti fut diversu. Now everything has changed.” “Innanti fut diversu.” Perhaps this is the phrase I have heard repeated most often by the storytellers of Scano Montiferro. For a few months, they told me an infinite number of fairy tales, legends, stories of bandits or mysterious events that happened during their childhood, when there was no television, and there wasn’t even electricity. Innanti fut diversu. The protagonists of the stories were often the dead, sas animas, both the “good” ones, who appeared to relatives to give advice, and the “bad” ones, who sometimes tried to take revenge on the living for some wrong they had suffered. Often the faces of the narrators lit up when they spoke of sos p\u00f3s\u00eddos, those treasures hidden underground that they too, as children, hoped to find.
