If parents and grandparents would start again to tell stories, maybe adolescents would achieve a more stable psychological serenity and acknoweledgement of their own identity." Recently, due to her inquisitive character and vivaciousness, she published a book entitled “The wee Italian girl”, “La piccola ragazza italiana” due to the curiosity of her granddaughter Erika to whom Serafina used to tell stories, in a fairytale kind of way, about her life in the hills and fields of Picinisco, paying special attention to the old traditions and habits of her adolescence. “ Educators and pedagogs would be enthusiastical about this grandma who tells her little granddaughter the stories of her life: she is keeping alive a culture, transmitting locations, ways of life, hopes and dreams of a disappeared world, in other words she is nurturing the need to remember, to discover and to move forward. Now Serafina is enjoying her retirement and has discovered the pleasure of writing and telling stories. As her last name shows her family originated in Picinisco, in Fontitune, but she was born in San Vittore nel Lazio, where her father Raffaele used to lead his flock of sheep in a kind of quick internal “transumanza”. Her smile elicits congeniality, along with a posititive and apparently placid personality, because she has a unique inquisitive character and a special energy and vivaciousness.Ĭurrently, she alternates between Scotland, where she emigrated as a child, and Villalatina.
