Braglia Ettore
L'emigrante laureato. 100 eccellenze di Capitanata
br. Terra spesso legata all'allontanamento, al distacco, all'emigrazione: la terra di Capitanata. Una terra, però, fertile di ingegni, talenti, filantropi. In queste agili pagine di Ettore Braglia prende forma il mosaico splendente delle celebrità di Capitanata, proiettate in Italia e nel mondo verso traguardi di ammirazione, fama e riconoscimento. Gli "emigranti laureati" li definisce l'autore, immortalati in brevi ritratti che ne trasmettono con freschezza l'indubbio successo. Una lettura scorrevole e gradevole che inneggia alla riscoperta del "made in Capitanata".
