End: 12:00 At the Libri in Nizza festival, Federica Storace presents the book «Vamos!». A light in the jungle. The story of Sister Maria Troncatti (Edizioni Paoline), in conversation with Silvia Chiola. A true, intense and intimate story that tells the powerful human and spiritual story of Sister Maria Troncatti, Daughter of Mary Help of Christians, canonized by Pope Leo XIV. Born in Corteno and raised among the mountains of Val Camonica, she arrived in 1922 in the Ecuadorian jungle among the Shuar people. Mother, sister and “doctora”, she cares for the sick, welcomes orphans and promotes the dignity of communities and women, transforming every day into a work of concrete humanity and holiness. As a wise craftswoman she knew how to weave peace into everyday life: an extraordinary life invites every reader to let themselves be challenged and to rediscover the direction of their own path. _____________ Federica Storace, a teacher from Genoa and volunteer in the educational field, combines her profession with a passion for writing.
