Pasquale Scipione's 'Marisol' explores Italian migration through a daughter's story

Pasquale Scipione, former school administrator and author, has published a new short story titled 'Marisol'. The narrative follows Marisol, daughter of Italian emigrants in France, who pieces together her family history with the help of Lino, a recurring character in Scipione's work. The story delves into Italian migration to France and Morocco after World War II, focusing on a skilled mason's quest for a better life and his daughter's perspective. The plot begins with an online grooming subplot before shifting to themes of love, hospitality, and shared humanity. Scipione describes the story as a casual response to an initial question sparked by a chance event, blending real and fictional elements. The cover art is a painting by Mario Liberace.
