The Heritage -  🇮🇹

By Shirley Esposito

"' This is a story of a family that , like many others , had to abandon their homeland , not only because of the war itself , but because someone, somewhere and for obscure reasons, decided that was sinful for the blood of different faiths to mix. 
This is Nina’s story, a daughter of these sins. "
