La Pagina Cancellata

La pagina cancellata racconta l'esperienza di Antonio Ascari, deportato in Germania come lavoratore coatto nel 1944. Attraverso la scrittura creativa, questo libro dà voce a documenti e memorie, colmandone i vuoti con l'immaginazione e perseguendo una verità in primo luogo affettiva, un rituale di commemorazione che abbraccia insieme ad Antonio la sua intera famiglia. La pagina cancelleta recounts the experiences of Antonio, who in 1944 was deported to Germany as a forced labourer. The book, partly in the form of letters and postcards, reconstructs that former world and is itself an act of commemoration, embracing not only Antonio, but his entire family.
