Carmela, don Gregorio, Gabriella and Lorella have never met but they have a lot in common. In the mid 60's, at the peak of the great migratory wave, alone or together with their families, they arrived in Switzerland, where they lived for a more or less lengthy period. They lived here during the difficult Schwarzenbach years while listening to the young pop singer from Verona, Gigliola Cinquetti, who became famous after her victory at the Sanremo Music Festival of 1964 with her song Non ho l'età (per amarti) / I'm not old enough (to love you). Thanks to her reassuring aspect, Gigliola found her way into their hearts and those of many other Italian immigrants all over the world. A symbol of the Italy they left behind, she became an object of veneration, resulting in her receiving thousands and thousands of fan letters. Four of these letters, having survived intact to the present day, tell of Carmela, don Gregorio, Gabriella and Lorella and of their experience as "immigrants"
