"Antonio’s Seed is based on a true story.

Some events have been condensed; names, characters and certain details have been changed. This veil of privacy is admittedly so thin that if you poked a hole in it you would be able to find out exactly who we are and where all this took place. Some of you may find that you live there and you know us.

For those of you in Italy -Antonio’s family- will it surprise you to know what your sons and daughters get up to when they migrate to the ends of the earth? Perhaps you saw the seed in him when he left, at sixteen years of age, to make his own way in the world. Perhaps you saw that his own way is what he was determined to have".
