ITALY from I to Y?

The decision to write a book about my observation of people and events in my life journey from my native Italy to Australia was taken when coming out of my work life , I was suddenly made aware that the tools of literacy required were somewhat diff erent from the tools of my trade , where sharpness was essential as bluntness was for the book.

I apologize on behalf of my tools while I defend the message they convey : I love both Italy and Australia.

But being born in a particular part of the world should not impede or curtail our criticism of it, man’s history is a tragic testimony of that, where sons and daughters have continued conflicts initiated by their fathers with their own criticism muted by the unquestioned love for the parent couple: Father – Land; thus sadly neglecting the apolitically stateless Mother - Nature .
