Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Casa Materna was founded in Naples, Italy, in 1905 by Pastor Riccardo Santi. Since then thousands of children from Naples and other economically-depressed towns and villages of southern Italy have lived and been educated there. They have been given the opportunity to leave behind lives of poverty and to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. This book is a collection of the personal stories of 21 former residents who describe what it was like growing up in this home and the impact it has had on their lives. All speak of Casa Materna and the Santi family with gratitude and affection.
