In 'Verd aigua', Marisa Madieri offers us a moving and deeply human autobiographical account. Through its pages, the author recalls her childhood marked by the exodus of the Italians from Fiume in 1947, a city that became part of Croatia, within the former Yugoslavia. With precise and subtle prose, Madieri interweaves tragic and comic episodes, portraying the people who accompanied her in her growth, such as her unforgettable grandmother Quarantotto, and the atmosphere of the Silos of Trieste, a place she describes as a Dantesque landscape where she lived with other refugees.
This story is a journey through memory, where the author confronts the uncertainty of the future with courage and generosity in the face of life. 'Verd aigua' is a small contemporary classic that invites reflection on identity, uprooting and the ability to find beauty in the midst of adversity.
