A Calabrian soldier's letter to his sweetheart, written on the day of the armistice. He never came back.
On 8 September 1943 a young Calabrian soldier writes a letter to the girl he loves. Soon afterwards he is captured by the Germans and never comes home.
Where that letter comes from, and how it became a song, Salvatore Mazzei tells in the book. It closes the album, and the century it tells.
In the book you will find
- the lyrics of this song in dialect, with an Italian translation
- photographs of the places and the people
- Salvatore Mazzei's own account and the Calabria of those years
Salvatore Mazzei is not a historian: he gathers stories and tells them in music. These lines are a starting point for anyone who wants to look up the sources and form their own view.
