FROSOLONE
STORIES OF SCISSORS AND KNIVES
by Liberato Paolucci
The book written by our manager Liberato Paolucci has been published by Cosmo Iannone Editore. Written from memory and the company archives, it recounts his life, that of the Paolucci family, and the community of Frosolone.
As a clear-sighted and passionate first-hand witness, Liberato Paolucci offers in this book a precious portrait of a difficult and harsh time and world, yet filled with the charm of a civilization that—despite immense hardship—developed with faith in a better future. The post–World War II period, work, trades, Italy’s marginalized and overlooked South, resilient in its survival, striving for redemption, and struggling to find its voice alongside the productive North and an America draining it of its youth and vitality. And then the mountainous landscape, the people, traditions, and the joy found in a simple life and genuine relationships.
Liberato Paolucci remembers and narrates, himself a segment of an important history in which the craft of scissors and knives became the soul of a town—thriving, evolving, and ultimately confronting the challenges of the modern era.
