La zona rossa
by Silvia Vecchini, Sualzo
On a night like any other, in a town like any other, the ground shakes for the first of many times. Matteo, Giulia, Federico have a normal life: they have friends, family, go to school and swing between happy and sad like any other kid. Then, in a single night, everything changes. An earthquake hits and devastates their town, their security and their daily lives. Can anything be left after everything has gone? The kids come to understand that life goes on, and that, even amid the rubble, the roots for a stronger friendship can be laid.
A vivid and poignant portrayal of what it’s like to live through an earthquake
