The book: Sicilia, o cara is the journey of Giuseppe Culicchia as a child, a journey preceded by his father's stories and especially by the imagination those stories sparked. Here is the arrival at the Turin station, the train that cuts sharply across Italy, the fog that clears, the landscapes beyond the window, the first hints of smells and colors. When little Giuseppe arrives in Sicily, fairy tales come to life, stories become faces, cities, words. Palermo, Trapani, and finally Marsala, where relatives welcome him with a phrase that becomes a ritual formula – “But you are Peppe! Peppe like your grandfather Giuseppe Culicchia! Pippinu! Pippinu Piruzzu!” The horizon widens over the sea and Turin seems to belong to another life. Giuseppe Culicchia puts his memory at stake and relies on the gaze of a child – innocent, curious, full of wonder – to tell a journey that has not yet ended.
