Made by Andrea Botto, in the memory of his grandfather Primo Benedetti, this precious hand-made book traces his return journey from a Nazi prisoner of war camp at the end of WWII. He recreated replicas of historical archives and documents just like Kasuma Obara did with Silent histories, giving his whole work a vintage aspect as well.
