Another area we have focused on has been south Italy, particularly the region of Molise: the village of Montenero Val Cocchiara, and the rare ancient breed of horse called the Pentro. Give to the Light is a fictional work of great interest to the story of Italian American immigrants. Wuxia Ameria is another fictional work filled with the cultural heritage of a Chinese American doctor/martial artist.
