Cobblestones, Conversations and Corks by Giovanni Ruscitti
A passionate and deeply moving memoir about a father-son relationship, a culture rooted in family, food and wine, and an ancestral small town in Central Italy that was left behind after World War II.
When the Germans invaded Cansano in 1943, Ruscitti’s family moved out to the unforgiving mountains of Abruzzo, living in horrendous winter conditions. When the war ended, they returned to a village so ravaged by the Germans that today it has less than 200 citizens.
When Ruscitti visits Cansano and walks the cobblestones, his father’s stories are illuminated by the town piazza, the steep valley, and the surrounding mountains. He relives the tales of his parents’ struggles, their post-war misery, their romance, and decision to immigrate to the U.S.
