A young woman in search of her Italian roots
When Sergio Catalongo dies, it affects the whole family, especially twenty-eight-year-old Selina, his granddaughter. Her grandfather was an original - he came to Germany at the age of 22 as one of the first "guest workers" and opened "Bella Italia", the first Italian ice cream parlour in Wuppertal.
Selina, on the other hand, has few connections to her grandfather's country. Not only was she, but also her father was born in Germany; the fact that Italian blood flows through her veins is particularly noticeable in her name. But Sergio's death makes her realise how important it is to know her own roots. So, without further ado, she sets off to the green slopes of Mount Vesuvius to find out who her grandfather really was - and who she really wants to be.
