Tra la Piana Reatina e le pendici del Terminillo, Cantalice custodisce una storia che si scopre un passo alla volta.
Le scalinate collegano le case, i vicoli conducono alle chiese, la Torre del Cassero domina il borgo. Dietro questo paesaggio si incontrano secoli di contese, devozioni, lavoro e vita quotidiana: le vicende di una comunità cresciuta lungo un confine e rimasta profondamente legata alla propria terra.
In questo libro, Enrico Aguzzi accompagna il lettore attraverso la storia e i luoghi di Cantalice, dalle testimonianze più antiche del territorio alla formazione delle rocche medievali, dai rapporti con Rieti e Cittaducale alle trasformazioni dell'Italia unita e del Novecento. Il racconto entra nelle chiese, si sofferma davanti a Palazzo Ramacogi, segue l'acqua delle fontane e ripercorre la vita di san Felice, il cui nome ha portato quello del paese ben oltre la valle reatina.
Il cammino prosegue verso San Liberato e gli altri nuclei del territorio, fra tradizioni agricole, feste, musica e sapori. La Saletta dei Ricordi e la Polisportiva testimoniano altre forme di appartenenza, mentre i boschi del Terminillo e i laghi della valle restituiscono l'ampiezza del paesaggio nel quale si svolge la vita cantaliciana.
Un saggio narrativo dal linguaggio semplice e scorrevole, che distingue le testimonianze storiche dai racconti della tradizione e avvicina il passato attraverso luoghi e vicende concrete.
Per chi conosce Cantalice e desidera comprenderla meglio, per chi conserva un legame con queste terre e per chi ama scoprire i borghi italiani attraverso le loro storie.
Un invito a percorrere Cantalice con uno sguardo più attento, riconoscendo nelle sue pietre le tracce di una comunità ancora viva.
