Bells ring in the Italian village, after 10 years a baby is born!

His name is Libero and after 10 years of waiting, the bells of Montemitro, a small village in Molise, Italy with only 200 inhabitants, began to ring for this joyful event.

The news of the birth of a baby was welcomed with joy by the entire community, also thanks to the story of the little girl's parents, Emanuela, who returned to her hometown after many years spent in Brescia, and Rocco, her childhood friend, who later became her husband.

The two, after getting married in a ceremony attended by the entire town, decided to reopen a meat shop and start a family.

The baby was born last Tuesday, coinciding with her mother's 40th birthday.

The elderly women of the village are busy preparing the baby's little clothes, made entirely by hand, with some pieces woven on a loom that is still in working order.

Montemitro is a town with a Croatian linguistic minority that, along with other towns in the interior of the country, is experiencing a serious demographic crisis: in the last 40 years the population has halved.

This is the sad trend in Molise, which has lost around 32,000 inhabitants since 2001 due to low birth rates, a negative migration balance and a struggling economic system.
