Author’s Note
In the process of reconstructing these events and documenting their passage, in coming to know better the people who lived them, I discovered how important even the smallest of details can be: objects of little value, furniture of questionable taste. In fact, the most common things can reveal unsuspected passions, even an old, threadbare overcoat.
