The name Strada Stretta evokes a river of emotions. What kind of memories does this road bring to those who work hard? Are they memories of suffering and malice? Or is it time they regret coming and going without words and peace?
For those unfamiliar with the street, Strada Stretta was considered a place for thieves and thugs. In this talk will talk about the research he did for his books on Strada Stretta. He will present some stories of people who remember and lived in this street.
