    Summary:

    Seven-year-old Amerigo lives with his mother Antonietta in Naples, surviving on odd jobs and his wits. But one day, Amerigo learns that a train will take him away from the rubble-strewn streets of the city to spend the winter with a family in the north. Through his curious, innocent eyes, we see a nation rising from the ashes of war, reborn.
