for our loved ones

It is said that on the night between November 1 and 2, the world of the living and the world of the dead come together, and our loved ones return to visit us. In Sicily, tradition has it that the dead bring gifts to children, a sweet way to teach that death does not erase love, but transforms it.

Andrea Camilleri wrote that on that night, “the dead return for love, not to frighten us.” And this is precisely the heart of the tradition: to remember those who have left us, continuing to feel their presence in small gestures, in scents, in the silence of our homes.

They will live on thanks to our memory.

I published the following video last year, in which you can also hear the story told by Camilleri:

A hug and thank you.
