Italy has a blend of ancient and modern cultures. This story is narrated by a "resident" of a small village in Northern Italy. It is a story that blends the old with the new. It is a memoir of a relationship that evolved over the years. Modern images of the village are interspersed through-out the narrative, while the words weave a story of the past that "bridges" it with the present. There are many "bridges" we cross through-out our lives. This story will bring a tear to the reader's eye. It has been translated into Italian by the author.
