"This book is freely inspired by a little-known story, which actually happened in the small Piedmontese town of Bossolasco, known as the town of roses, due to the rose plants that climb the walls of the streets of the centre, which are covered with flowers in spring . During the Second World War, the hoteliers Demetrio and Rina welcomed a group of Jews from other regions into their inn for a long period, and protected them with the help of the Podestà and the municipal secretary, and the collaboration of the inhabitants of the town . Today in the square of Bossolasco, right next to the inn, the large sculpture of the Angel by Daniele Cazzato recalls that act of care and protection: under its wings it shelters every traveller, and makes that courageous embrace that was able to overcome the horror of war."
