Rosario, 68, has only one certainty: he was born in the Fontanelle area and this is where he wants to stay.
He longs for the time when living in this part of the neighbourhood meant living as if in a family village: there was no need to lock the door, and it was not unusual to ask the neighbour for a piece of bread when you ran out. In those days, you would always have found the door open.
His relationship with the Cemetery
Like Charon, he has ferried many visitors to the Cemetery who, without his help, would hardly have managed to find or visit it. English was never a barrier: his pride in showing them such a unique place was so strong that the people standing in front of him almost always ended up understanding him.
