Lina, 66, lives in the Fontanelle area.
She cannot bring herself to set foot in the Cemetery of Poggioreale, but the Fontanelle Cemetery gives her an entirely different feeling: perhaps because of its symbolic dimension, which seems to captivate anyone who enters.
At the Fontanelle, one does not encounter an absence that weighs heavily, but a presence that, from deep within, carries the history of the city.
The city’s ancestors
As she grew older, she returned there often and, each time, in the silence of that place made of both matter and spirituality, she continued to imagine the faces and stories of the city’s ancestors.
