An ancient way of life. Living with nature and the seasons. Moving from high mountain to plain. The cleanest air and water, the purest food and wine. A little girl tells the story of her last year at home high up in the Apennines of Italy. The love of her family and neighbours.
The conviviality and shared purpose of her tight knit community. The beloved grandmother she will leave behind as her parents head for the factory floors and restaurant kitchens of 1950’s Edinburgh. An immigrant’s tale but also a record of a simpler life. At one time negated and cast aside and now more than ever sought out and admired.
The Wee Italian Girl is a document for many Scottish Italians who, apart from picturesque villages and majestic mountains wish to really know from whom and where they came.
