This tender contemporary story is set in the places that fascinated the author during holidays in Premia in the Antigorio-Formazza valley. As well as the story of his life, the protagonist narrates life in the Walser territory, taking us to a place of unique and special natural landscapes, villages that still show the signs of a culture – the Walser way of life – which is deeply rooted in the inhabitants of the valley, and towns whose traditions still inspire a healthy pride in being part of a centuries-old history. The protagonist returns to the valley after half a century in America, and we realise that the distance between the two is not so great when travelled with memories and an open, light heart.
