The history of Arslantepe in Malatya (eastern Anatolia) dates back
to the Fifth Millennium BC. The Italian Archaeological Mission,
supervised by Professor Marcella Frangipane, has successfully brought
to light important remains that symbolize the universality of Anatolian
cultures. Each year Frangipane leaves Italy on a long, impervious,
and adventurous trip to the Arslantepe site. The Passion of Memory
is the story of thirty years of “unexpected surprises”
and important discoveries and of the love for those magical and
mysterious places. It is the story of everyday life on the sites
and of the relationships that have been established with local collaborators.
Once the fieldworkers were farmers, but today their children are
university students working to pay their fees and interested in
learning the culture and the language of Italy.
