Rare

An anthology of stories from around Italy. The accounts of seven women, very different yet sharing the decision to pursue a solitary path and to make working with nature their life project. Portraits of women who render homage to the women before them who, prior to migration for working in the factories of the industrial northern cities during the 1970s, were the backbone of rural family economy. For they tended the stalls, milked the cows, tilled the fields, selected the seeds for better crops, and created simple meals without waste, besides filling their duties as mother and wife. Today, despite the difficulties, Alessia, Sara, Claudia, and others are determined to revitalize rural areas.
