SAINT ADAM'S TREASURE

Saint Adam’s Treasure touches upon an historical reality that still resonates today in the lives of many Italians. According to a recent poll, Italy ranks fourth in the number of its citizens that leave their country for parts of Europe still today. The traces left by emigration are to be found not only in the familial gaps that it left, or in the innumerable abandoned or sparsely populated towns that dot the landscape of the peninsula, but also for the mythologies that emerged from the stories of those who left and those who stayed behind.
