Presentation of the book “La rigata fiori selvatici” by Laura Cappellazzo. Free admission event.
Caterina lives with her fifteen-year-old daughter in Villapiana, a quiet town at the foot of the Treviso mountains, where she dedicates herself to restoring ancient objects. It is her way of not losing her connection with the past. A past that re-emerges from the crumpled pages of a notebook, written by who knows who. It talks about Iris, Thorn Rose, Poppy, Buttercup, Mallow, Geranium…
It is not about botany: they are the battle names of women who, in the dark period following September 8, 1943, chose not to stand by and watch and to found an all-female brigade, the Fiori Selvatici brigade.
