Almost fifty years after his death, Lorenzo Milani, a priest of the poor and a teacher, often remembered and often misunderstood, still challenges us. The narrator follows the roads of his short life: Florence, where he was born into a rich, cultured family with a mother of Jewish origin and died in the arms of his pupils; Milan, where he trained and failed as a painter; the family villa and the summer holidays; the village where he founded his first school for working people; and Barbiana, a remote hamlet in the Tuscan Apennines and stage of his revolution. He also seeks Milani's heirs among isolated teachers around the world.
