“This is San Cataldo, a village in southern Italy. A country of peasants. Here, more than anywhere else, something happens if someone is born or someone dies. And between birth and death, survival is difficult. When someone is born, they have to be magically protected from the risks of life. No one can say whether their life will be long or short, but everyone knows it will be hard and precarious. In San Cataldo you come into the world in silence.”
