The legend of a gypsy Christ crucified twice has been circulating in the Iberian peninsula for centuries, probably since the dawn of the 16th century, when the gypsy people, after their mysterious escape from India (others would have it from Egypt, from which gipsy, gypsy) arrived in Andalusia. Like other myths and legends it entered Iberian literature, even spreading in Latin America. Daniele Lamuraglia, drawing on the basic myth, was able to revive it with his own eyes, in the modern key that it deserves, so that this people, always opposed and persecuted, who paid a very high price to the West (think of the million gypsies exterminated in Nazi camps) - but which in its desperate vitality refuses to succumb to the wickedness of history - is for us an extraordinary warning of the threat hanging over the most defenseless ethnic minorities of today's society.
