Lives Of The Saints by Nino Ricci
Set in a small Italian village during the 1960s, the story follows young Vittorio Innocente as he navigates the complexities of family, tradition, and scandal. His mother, Cristina, becomes the center of gossip and judgment after a mysterious incident involving a snake bite, leading to her ostracization by the community. Through Vittorio's eyes, the narrative explores themes of innocence, morality, and the clash between old-world customs and modernity, painting a vivid picture of rural life and the impact of societal norms on personal identity.
