"Amazonia" – A few syllables that arouse feelings of charm and mystery in our collective imagination raised to the nth degree. If you've been there you will never forget its scents and intricate ethno-botanical tangles; otherwise it will be curiosity that will not abandon you every time its name echoes.

...The knowledge of our ancestors is immeasurable and as such must be preserved... In the few pages of this publication you will not find miraculous potions but anecdotes, recipes and beliefs of some indigenous communities in relation to the plants and herbs of Selva Central in the Peruvian Amazon.

Populations who struggle to keep their traditions alive and who perhaps know many remedies even for modern diseases such as the "mysterious" COVID-19 which is infecting the body and brain of our societies.

Angelo Giammarresi was born in the splendid and sunny Sicily. Director, multimedia producer, ethnographer has produced over 80 documentaries. MAPINIKI - Interactive History of Our Ashaninka-Yanesha Native Community, Interactive Stories Of Our Ashaninka-Yanesha Tradition and the film NA'PA CHOMOCH - PALLERR YANESHA on the life of a wise Yanesha in the third millennium are two masterpieces of the new multimedia project "My Indigenous Roots", dedicated to the transcription of oral traditions of indigenous peoples.
