May be we all search, then through this search, we find the roots of a family, of a past, it is a loving and enduring goal. The deep-seated thoughts the DNA of a family has a lasting impact of all following generations.Throughout history we have learned and experienced, by sharing much of this past from generation to generation, that we cannot escape what we have inherited. The book teaches us much about ourselves and the deep seated aim and intentions we are searching for.Maria Paola Lualdi Martelli, living in Rome and Florence, shows us how valuable such a story is today, tomorrow and for always, no matter which nationality. It is a story about a family steeped in Arts, Architecture and Antiquity and gives us an insight of family heritage and inherited thinking.Angelo Lualdi's vision as artist and sculptor, a man of deep commitment and generous in spirit, had influenced the author's life. He was a creator of lasting impressions and expressions in sculpted art and in his art-to life. His sculptures and creations are found in many churches in America, for example the Washington National Cathedral, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and other cities. His world of Art represented much of the cultural and political events which marked his life and that of his family in his long, creative and productive life in Italy, England and the United States. It is beautifully told in this story . "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside you" (Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet,1803-1882).
