«I fantasmi di pietra» is the contemporary fiction novel by Mauro Corona, published by Mondadori in hardback (347 pages, in Italian).
A village in the Dolomites came to a standstill on 9 October 1963, when the mountainside plunged into the Vajont reservoir. Corona walks through its houses and streets and summons the ghosts that still inhabit them, reconstructing the daily life of the former residents in an elegy the author describes as the Spoon River of his lost homeland.
Originally published in 2007 in Mondadori's I miti collection, it received the Cálamo Prize (Otra Mirada) in 2011.
For readers of contemporary Italian fiction interested in memory and the human relationship with the mountain landscape.
Mauro Corona, is an Italian writer, mountaineer and wood carver.
