Corleone. When dreams were born in Piazza Soprana

Corleone is alive and in fervent enthusiasm: courtships, weddings and baptisms enliven families and neighborhoods in the frame of moonlight enchanting serenades. Luca is part of the brood of post-war children that crowd the streets of Piazza Soprana. Inseparable from Giuliana from an early age, their complicity is lifeblood that makes him strong. With puberty, a tender love blossoms with Giuliana.

Suddenly, too early, the spell breaks: sadly, many are forced to close shop and immigrate to distant countries in search of a well-being, aware that they would never see each other again. Luca suffers a very hard blow when Giuliana leaves with her family. He too immigrates to the far away England, where he has to fight against his siblings' atavist prejudices. His independent character gives him the strength to rebel against and, still a teenager, he lives a romantic love escape. But, Giuliana remains in his heart: he never abandons the dream the see her again.

Turiddu too, Luca's father, had been put to the test when, returning from the war, he lost his head for the sister of his closest friends. Opposed and offended, out of an absurd sense of honor, he was pushed into an unfortunate gesture that he would never have wanted to commit.
