the village Galte in the book is the village Galtelli where I live.

Two other citations of Antonio which should make us think
"The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born: in this interregnum, the most varied morbid symptoms appear."
"I hate the indifferent. I believe that living means being a partisan. Anyone who truly lives cannot help but be a citizen and a partisan. Indifference is apathy, it is parasitism, it is cowardice, it is not life."

Sorry but I am a bit of a "ball breaker" LOL but I am so anguished  about the times we are living. I hate and that is a very heavy word the Orange Baboon. Also I hate what Brexshit (Brexit) has caused as it has caused very big problems for me.

I realised that it was a typo.  But as a being English and living here in Italy and being OCD the female and male ending to words do make me want to correct them SORRY  I am a pain in the bum......but how I would have loved it to have been an AntoniA 😉😜🤣.... Imagine in here in Italy and what the social expectations of a women at that time was!  Gramsci was about the same timeline as Grazia Deledda and she was very so dismissed in her times. She even won a Nobel , actually for the book she wrote  based on the village where I live " Cane al Vento" "Reeds in the wind" which is one of her works that helped me understand the way of life here. She wrote about life here as it was back in the times when she lived here.  Antonio Gramsci was lucky in his bad luck of what life threw him. I believe his "Sardinian" roots helped his formation in life along with his disability. So much of what happened then we are now living today..... but we have less hope than what they did.
We can only battle on and hope we can get through this. If only the Americans will open their eyes and get rid of this ******* I am still trying to understand how we got here.

"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters."
This is so true again of today's times and the monster being the Orange Mussolini today.  Instead of Antonio Gramsci's day when he was imprisoned by Mussolini. I would rather have the original instead of the orange fake wannabe. He was much less dangerous and had less power over the world.
Just hope that they use their brains and get rid of him in November.
What horrible frightening times we are living in  at the moment.
I live in Sardinia the Island where Gramsci was born.
By the way it is Antonio (male) not Antonia(female)
