Through vivid storytelling, this historical account reveals the disturbing influences and grim motives that possessed Alessandro Serenelli, St. Maria Goretti’s murderer. Yet it is much more than a chilling tale; this true narrative is a testament of transformation and redemption — God’s mercy shining forth through the most seemingly hopeless of situations.

Nell’antico Egitto la casa era un’esigenza fondamentale per la vita quotidiana privata e sociale. Dalle prime abitazioni in materiali vegetali e ossa di grossi animali, come gli ippopotami, nelle comunità dell’Egitto preistorico, si passò alla realizzazione di case di mattoni crudi, organizzate distributivamente secondo le esigenze dei gruppi familiari. La casa dunque era un elemento importante nella vita degli Egiziani che desideravano fondare una famiglia. Il saggio Ptah-hotep consigliava: “Se tu sei eccellente, dovresti fondare la tua casa”.

In this inspiring account of his life and work, Bartolo shares his quiet dignity, unshakable moral center, and inspirational message - "We can't and we won't be governed by our fears."

Pietro Pinti, born as he says "in the Middle Ages", worked the land with hoe and plow from his earliest youth. Growing up under Mussolini's Fascist regime on a farm near Florence, he and his family lived under conditions of extreme poverty, as sharecroppers to generally unscrupulous landowners. But during World War II, when millions in towns and cities suffered untold hardships, the hardy Tuscan peasants were well equipped to face the rigors of the era. War or no war, work on the land went on, and Pietro describes month by month a typical year in their lives.

Santa messa per i miei fucilati è una testimonianza pressoché unica delle rappresaglie compiute dall'esercito italiano nel 1942-43 nei territori occupati della Slovenia e della Croazia. Il diario è stato scritto giorno dopo giorno da don Pietro Brignoli, un cappellano militare al seguito delle truppe italiane che nell'aprile del 1941 avevano invaso il Regno di Jugoslavia. Nelle pagine del suo quaderno Brignoli registra scrupolosamente le quotidiane fucilazioni di civili e presunti partigiani, eseguite spesso in maniera del tutto arbitraria.
