The Stones Talk

“Murgia means stone.

Stone is the word that best evokes this piece of Puglia. Stone covers our fields, propping them up in white to the horizon; our villages are made of stone, in the heart of the cities; even under your feet, stone hives unfold, damp and fresh tunnels that guard our most ancient secrets.

And stones, as we know, speak.”

The plot of the story is a product of fantasy, as are its protagonists. Whenever possible, bibliographical references and sources accompany the historical and literary references and reproductions.
