Description in English: This multiple book by Javier Moscarella is, deep down and on the surface, a novel, although it takes the form of a historical text. Better put, it is a verbal polyhedron constructed from complicity, dreams, friendship, and love for a diverse and welcoming land where his Italian paternal grandparents settled after crossing a sea, an ocean, and another sea. I mean that we are facing a theater of masks. And, as Nietzsche, an actor through and through, taught, 'everything that is profound loves the mask.' Mask, of course, equals play and celebration. Welcome, everyone, to this festival of words on the occasion of a book that revisits the marks of Italian immigration in the lands of the former Province of Santa Marta. A timely text, without a doubt, as we stand on the brink of commemorating the 500 years since the founding of Santa Marta.
