In the first courtyard of the Musma, on the wall, high up along the stairs leading to the noble floor, a morse code launches a signal, a short distance communication, a visual signal that has a very strong meaning in its translation, silently the various combinations of points and lines, determine a Heimat word. A German word that has no equivalent in the Italian language. It is often translated as "Home", "Little country", or "Birthplace" and indicates the territory in which you feel at home because you were born there, spent your childhood there, or speak the language there. of the affections. A work that hides an urgency, that of giving voice to our land, of giving voice to a place that has kept and still keeps stories that we have forgotten or better still that today it is necessary to return to listen.
