Pentedattilo is the name of the village in the very south of Italy where every third house no longer has a roof. It is home to 10 cats, one dog and three people. Every hour on the hour, the bell of the village church chimes just for them. When it rang out six time on a springtime evening in late April and the dog started barking, a dozen American tourists streamed out onto the terrace of a single-story white house.
The tour guide on the terrace tells his guests the story of their host and hostess. He jokingly refers to Aquilanti as the mayor of Pentedattilo. Tounkara, he says, is her friend who helps her with the land and with their visitors. They also offer lodgings here. The tour guide says that their relationship could become a kind of example. It’s a model that shows the positive aspects that migration can have for such a region.
Day in and day out, when the bells chime eight times, Tounkara heads out, leaving the village behind him along the path toward the mountain ridge to the stalls. His tasks are clear: first the chickens, then the rabbits and finally the goats. He cleans the enclosures, makes sure the animals have food and fresh water, and then he milks the goats before leading them out to the meadow. As they munch grass, he sits nearby either watching them graze or looking into his smartphone.
Rosa Aquilanti was born in Italy on July 14, 1959, about one-and-a-half hours north of the capital Rome by car. Most people in Calabria call her Rossella. Tounkara, meanwhile, worked in the Malian capital of Bamako, then in Algeria and then in Libya, where he ended up in prison as a migrant. He says he was then bought free by a Libyan man and worked for him to pay off his debt. When he then wanted to return to Mali, he paid a migrant smuggler to take him there, since the war in northern Mali made it impossible to cross the border legally. But, he says, he was put into the wrong group of migrants.
When Aquilanti saw Pentedattilo for the first time, she says, she was immediately impressed by the size of the rocky hills and the beauty of the view. The name Pentedattilo comes from Ancient Greek and means"five fingers.” The village is on a range of mountains from which five rock spires jut into the sky. When Tounkara saw Pentedattilo for the first time, he says he was shocked. After three months, he wanted to leave. But he stayed.
