Maurizio Igor Meta decided to go to the United States by sailing on a cargo-ship, across the ocean, to retrace the footsteps of his great-grandfather who, in 1890, left Napoli in search of work and good fortune, laboring, pick and shovel, to the construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The author begins with the feelings he had retracing the ancestor journey, and creates a drama that evokes the moment of departure, the ship journey, the arrival at Ellis Island, the labor on the rails, until the return to his roots.
