Summary
This interlude briefly recounts the story of other “brown babies” who were born from the encounter between Italian women and colonial subjects considered "dangerous" and sent by Mussolini to confino (internment) in an isolated village in Calabria at the end of the 1930s. One of them left the village for Ethiopia in 1961 to access the inheritance left to him by his wealthy father and became the protagonist of a sensational story reported on both sides of the Atlantic.
