After marrying her Italian boyfriend at 18, Vida and her family split their time between the bustle of Rome and the tranquillity of the ancient village of Torre Saracena. For centuries this insular community has closed its ranks against everyone outside its walls; even the inhabitants of the nearest town are classified as foreigners. Despite initial misgivings on the part of the locals, they are soon accepted into the community and spend twenty years living "la bella vita" with the villagers and hippy eccentrics who become their trusted friends. From feuding and festivals, through to brushes with the Neapolitan Mafia, their life is high drama on a small stage
