Welcome to Antonella Bonomi’s African Memoir

This page is dedicated to “An African Song”, the book that many of you have been suggesting I write for years and that is now finally published and available for purchase. It is the diary of my African adventure, an inner journey of discovery of new frontiers of the soul and heart. In the background, as you know, there is the gigantic territory of the Chuylu Hills, one hundred thousand hectares of “green hills of Africa” narrated by Ernest Hemingway. Dominated by Kilimanjaro, by nature and its cycles, by animals and above all by the Masai people, who own that territory. A world that inspires happiness and fear at the same time, a sense of freedom and isolation. These pages tell the story of my life among the Maasai and the title comes from the narration that is similar to a song: sometimes sweet and melodious, sometimes melancholic and, perhaps, a little out of tune. But always true and spontaneous: my African Song. I hope you will enjoy listening to it together with me.
