Stories in stone: epigraphs of Trentino citizens who emigrated abroad

Collected and studied by Angelo Franchini and commented by Mauro Neri. Trento : Autonomous Province of Trento, 1995.        

Description

Unlike works and paper documents locked away on the shelves of archives and accessible to a few people, a stone slab engraved with an epigraph is equivalent to a condensed book, permanently open and easy for everyone to read.

The author Angelo Franchini wanted to make a contribution to the history of Trentino emigration from an original point of view: the search for stone memories. He patiently visited hundreds of small and large graveyards in Trentino in search of the testimonies of tombstones, epigraphs, and 'stone stories' referring to emigrants.

The book presents a selection of 51 'names'.
