The book: Grottole, near Matera: in a little-explored South, the extraordinary and everyday events of the Falcone family, a family to whom fate gives everything and spares nothing, from war to emigration, from wealth to hunger, passing through public scandals and individual outbursts. From the patriarch Don Francesco, with his barrels of gold buried and never found, to the last descendant, Gioia, who more than a century later collects the family memories. The portrait of a terrestrial world, harsh and magnificent. A constellation of characters caught in the key moments of their existence. Their making or not making peace with life. The imagination used to accept reality. And then the end of a world. Fathers and sons, but above all mothers and daughters, expectations and betrayals. Loves, political ideals, struggles, disappointments. The vitality of a people and a desire to live finally conquered by even defying romantic love and its traps. Winner of the Premio Campiello 2007, Mille anni che sto qui has been translated into twenty countries. The author: Mariolina Venezia was born in Matera and lives in Rome, where she works for cinema, theater, and television.
