Overview
"Starting from the previous ""Welcome to Nicktown"", adventurous family saga of her maternal grandmother Assunta Berardi, the authoress digs in the fascinating story of the great-uncle Father Gabriele M. Berardi O.S.M., Assunta's brother, Servite Friar in the odor of sanctity, known as ""Padre Pio of Rome."" The first part of his complex biography wants to retrace the journey both material and spiritual, from the origins between Marche and Romagna, where vocation and predestination are outlined, along the years of religious formation in Umbria and then the heroic priesthood in Orvieto, overwhelmed by events of the last war, and then follow the daring escape to Paris with his brother Rocco, immediately after the war, and the subsequent return of pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, through Fatima and Marseille, until the return to Rimini by Assunta and hence finish the race in Rome where will start the glorious rise, postponed to the second part. The famous saying quoted in the title does not only refer to the geographical destination of the trip, but also wants to be a metaphor of the inevitable journey towards destiny."
