A work of fact, fiction, fable and folklore spanning three
generations of southern Italian family life. "Europe ends at Naples
and ends badly. Calabria, Sicily and all the rest belong to
Africa." - Creuz de Lesser, 1806 No geographical map distinguishes
Montefalcione as being different from any number of isolated
mountain villages in southern Italy. It has ancient customs and its
own saints and feast days, like other villages. Yet Montefalcione
in Campania is the setting for a unique meditation on family and
the Italian Diaspora, reconstructing three generations of village
life through myth, superstition, and the anecdotal history of the
author's own family. The drama unfolds amidst a landscape of
peasant riots, vicious landlords, religious festival, feuds, the
collapse of the Fascist party, and the tarantella - a world lost to
the changing face of the twenty-first century.
