Note: Memory is the leitmotif of the twenty short stories presented in the collection: it is a memory of present times, but also of past ones, handed down by the voice of the protagonists themselves or taken from dusty and sometimes even disturbing pages of forgotten diaries. A town in Sicily, Acireale, in the province of Catania; some aspects, taken from reality, of its history and that of its inhabitants, over time, from The werewolf of via Tono all'obscuro The anniversary of Cico, from The Christmas lunch with mysterious unanswered questions to the chilling discovery of The Secret Crypt; from the very delicate and sad Letter to Tessa from the young sailor Angelo, who died in 1939, read and transcribed from his diary, to the lively A Carnival Joke. Twenty tasty stories, each different from the other, to discover the secret but real face of a provincial town.
