Rosa Maria left the village on a summer day of 1931 to escape poverty. Ever since people of Riace have been watching the houses covered with ivy and lands poorer. They scan the sea from their hills and continue to cherish their two Saints Cosma and Damiano who came from the Orient. One day Bairam docked on the beach in Riace along with two hundred other Kurdish. He decided to settle there.
Today the people of Riace are called Roberto, Ousmane, Emilia, Mohamed, Leonardo, Taira. They don’t have much but they invent daily their common destiny.
