The family saga of Florio, whose story spans over 150 years and is intertwined with the ups and downs of Sicily. After the earthquake, two Florio brothers, Paolo and Ignazio, move to Palermo and open a small spice shop. Locals coldly accept newcomers, calling them tramps behind their backs. Soon, one of the brothers dies, leaving his wife Giuseppina and little Vincenzo in the care of the second. Ignazio and Giuseppina are secretly in love with each other, but they don't dare admit it even to themselves. Suffering from unrequited love, Ignazio directs all his efforts to business development and succeeds in this. Soon, the grown-up Vincenzo joins the management of family affairs, who also has love dramas and a lot of hard work ahead of him, thanks to which the Florio trading house will arise. Vincenzo will be replaced by a new Ignazio, and this will be repeated from generation to generation. The novel has a second part, "The Lions of Sicily. The decline of the Empire." In it, Stefania Auchi continues the story of the characters, and the reader can see the reference to the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
