Rinaldo Pilla

La Zoccola Madre - Mom Sewer Rat Rinaldo Pilla

Assembled in Venafro, Italy, the book is a retrospective consideration and analysis of the author?s past experiences in America, while adjusting to the local culture and people. In particular, Rinaldo?s discovery that Venafro could have very well been Pontius Pilate?s city of residence, while a prefect in Judea, made him question all his life, family roots, origin and heritage. Not only Rinaldo discovered being of Jewish ancestry, but also Pilate, a Samnite as well, might have been. In Venafro, the author also discovered the strong influence on the community, especially on his mother, by a permanent gipsy community, known as ?Zingari of Venafro?. L?edizione è inclusiva di scritti inediti in italiano.
