Beschreibung
The story of Domenico continues, the young Abruzzese who left his home town (Aielli nella Marsica) in the early 1900s to go and work abroad in order to secure a better future, at least from an economic point of view . He went first to Prussia, then to the United States in Buffalo where he worked on one of the first projects of the great architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He then returns to Italy to marry his Erminia, the beautiful girl he has always been in love with and who was waiting for him. Children are born and things are not going well economically, so he makes the heroic decision to return to America. He first worked in Bayonne, New Jersey, where he participated in the construction of the Saint-Henri church. He then moved to Cumberland, Maryland, where he worked at a brick kiln in nearby Frostburg. Domenico, in his free time, continues to be interested in and try his hand at formulas and mathematical relationships, his great "passion" which had already aroused the wonder of the famous architect Wright then, called by the American government, to serve at Camp Gordon, a recruiting camp for young Americans from all "all-American" states. The context changes, but the passion for life and the commitment to his mathematical research aimed solely at satisfying personal intuitions, at finding unexpected solutions, remain. Commitments change, needs and circumstances change, Domenico does not give up, he matures his life experience through suffering and difficulties. He has a goal to achieve, so he overcomes challenges, confirms his convictions: love for his wife Erminia; respect for his word; the interior honesty of the man in search of the good.
