This is a pathway of evocations gathered from among the people the Langhe, a voyage through the rows of their "vines-and-lives" in order to discover their sounds and tastes far from the dense urban conglomerates. There is a homage to Cesare Pavese, the poetic support and new eye with which to observe the people of the earth.
