The heart of a people. Calendar of Trentino legends

by Mauro Neri. Emigration and International Solidarity Service, Emigration Office. Autonomous Province of Trento, 2010.

Description

"Concealed in the deepest of legends is the secret wisdom of a people," declares the President of the Province of Trento, Lorenzo Dellai, in his introduction to the four volumes written by Mauro Neri, who has been engaged for years in the historical-literary recovery of popular tales and fables. Four books four seasons, for a total of 365 legends, one per day: anyone, by searching for their day of birth, can find their own legend. A pleasant and also entertaining way to learn about Trentino's history, its people linked to the mountains and the land, and its evolution. Books, therefore, that the Province's emigration service - attentive and sensitive in safeguarding even a 'minor' popular heritage - has seen fit to propose also in its English translation, to enhance a Trentino that today is entrusted to the younger generations. Refined and narrative ink drawings by Rovereto-based illustrator Pierluigi Negriolli introduce the twelve months of the year.
