Eighty years after the foundation of the Repubblica Contadina di Piana degli Albanesi, Sicilian artist Genny Petrotta revisits the historical episode of her hometown. Petrotta is the great-niece of the rebel leader Giacomo Petrotta, whose personal testimony recalls the chaotic years towards the end of the Second World War, the social inequality and corrupt political elite, the fight against Sicily’s large landowners, and the violent repression of a political movement that demanded a fairer world. The book is a poetic reappropriation of a long-repressed and forgotten experience, and revisits the traditional songs and costumes of a rural community characterised by an arduous life.
