Memorie d'un disertore, vol. 1/3 : $b storia d'una famiglia di patriotti

A vivid, first‑person chronicle unfolds against the tumult of Italy’s unification, where a modest family of patriots is drawn into the sweeping currents of history. The narrator, recalling evenings spent with the legendary Garibaldi on the rocky shores of Caprera, weaves personal loss—the disappearance of his original manuscript—into a broader meditation on duty, sacrifice, and the fragile thread that links generations.

Through intimate sketches of daily life—garden work, simple meals, and candid conversations—the story captures the raw humanity of a man who embodies both the heroic myth and the ordinary flaws of a leader. The opening act centers on “the father,” a figure whose steadfast justice and quiet strength become a compass for those around him, offering listeners a portrait of moral resolve that feels as immediate as the sea’s tide.
