Adele Corradi, eighty years brought lightly. Young teacher decides to join the group of teachers from the school of Don Lorenzo Milani. The entrance is not easy: don Lorenzo is rough, a few words, and especially focused on an educational project which, as we know, it sounded revolutionary not only in Catholic circles. Adele, who is a practicing Catholic, still think that the most difficult choice is the one that gives more meaning to do. Says Don Lorenzo and the apostrophe: "That's disgusting," and adds, "Do you think God the Father is a malignant?". Starting from these premises until the relationship building and effective balance, Adele lives with Don Lorenzo fundamental years of school, until the death of the prior. You are following the discoveries of collective writing, the "inhabited solitude," the writing of the letter to a teacher, the government of the community, conflicts with the institutions. The portrait of Don Milani Corradi ago is that of a man, beyond the charisma, difficult, sensitive, temperamental. And yet filled with an immense confidence in life. We hear him insult his collaborators, we see it closed at times in a hope almost incondivisibile

The book has an original approach that can be opened to any page, such as a photo album in black and white that holds memories, tasty squares, embarrassment, suffering, hope and nostalgia for the period that the author has lived next door Don Milani. This book is written with wisdom, with love (but without reverence), and above all with an air that at times borders on comedy.
