Pieces of stories can be glued together. Searching for information on the American airfield that existed near Venosa between the years 1944 and 1945, forgotten memories reappeared. And, rediscovering the airfield, the men reappeared. Persons from one side to the other of the Ocean contacted each other, exchanging  addresses; sometime it's the sons or the grandsons of those who lived that era of the air force base. This is the story of the search that has allowed this meeting.
