Did you grow up hearing stories of “the evil eye?” Or perhaps, you’ve always wondered why Italian culture lights candles for saints.

This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive book, told through fictional stories of everyday Italians, examines and honors Italy’s mystical heritage, where saints, healers, and peasants kept spiritual traditions alive through daily acts and seasonal rites.
