Sun and snow comprises 142 mini stories or ‘confetti’, arranged in order of casual appearance: only after reading all of them can we finally discover the plot of a single tale. Set in the area of Parma during the 1960s, the story spans over a period of fourteen years – from the age of innocence to the realization of death – through the succession of months and seasons, observing the changes in nature, and remembering the pleasure of living immersed in the passage of time. Beginning and ending in June, we witness a boy becoming an adult, amidst the woods, fields, skies, rivers and changing colors and lights, all emanating new fragrances. Alongside the story’s protagonists, the innocent boy and countryside are an ample chorus of characters narrated in just a few lines; one of these characters, the father, through his death, slowly becomes the true hero.

School closed on the second Saturday in June. A few days later, the workers came into the fields now golden with corn and, with sharpened scythes, prepared the road for the tractors and the reaping machine. The red Fiat 35 caterpillar pulled the steel beast, which devoured the corn stalks and spat them out onto the ground in the form of sheaves. Long rows of little menhirs stood in formation along the mountain slope. The sun beat mercilessly down on the heads of the “casual labourers”as they speared the corn with their pitchforks and tossed the sheaves onto the cart: Znèr slowly but methodically transformed the load into a yellow pyramid, a five metre high mountain which joined the other mountains unloaded into the barn. The day of the feast was near. Only one more week and Masadoni would arrive.
