I just finished reading the last book of Christian Moretti. I still have a whirlwind of thoughts that crowd my mind. A thousand questions a thousand thoughts a thousand doubts, because the same number. A book that leaves no one indifferent.

Christian's book gave me a unique experience: the feeling we can give you the incredible discovery. It enriched the soul I go out with a memory that will remain with me, jealously, for life. For this reason I thank Christian and his family received a gift dell'inestimabile.

His cage made of reinforced concrete began to show some small crack. For him, for his family, his friends is a glimmer of hope after years of darkness. |
