Antonio Petrone marries Teresa, and the following year they leave Italy. In early 1921, Antonio Petrone is 25 years old and leaves his hometown, a town with an ancient, mysterious, rugged, and rocky name: Sasso di Castalda. Houses cling to the peaks of the Apennines, a community guarding a centuries-old history and proud of its identity, enclosed among the mountains and at times unreachable. A rough, quiet, and tenacious people. Antonio and Teresa leave Italy for New York, where some of Teresa’s relatives await them.
