A funny and smart collection of sayings and proverbs in marateoto dialect, organized by topic with the dialect news, geography and history of Maratea as well as tourist information.
 
<< You can’t say you know a people until you catch the nuances of their language. In making this operetta about the sayings and proverbs of Maratea, we wanted to transmit that part of our linguistic heritage that risks being forgotten, even if we keep enriching it with colour, irony and wisdom.. (....)
In our opinion, this operetta not only testifies the richness of our popular culture but also longs to be a pleasant opportunity to put in contact distant men.>>
