The darner of dreams

The protagonist of "The darning of dreams" (ed. Il Raggio Verde) is a "maca", a sort of village shaman. The book, by Tina Rizzo De Giovanni, is presented in the spaces of the Bernardini Library in the presence of the author, who talks about the history of spells "sewn" like pieces of fabric, of positive invoices, of that Salento told on the thread of the "language and typical storytelling ”, Raffaele Polo writes in the preface,“ of those who tell a distant and intricate story, but full of ideas and those wonderful commonplaces full of common sense that characterized the speeches of grandparents ”.
