Sayyida Salme lived a remarkable life in remarkable times and told the tale more than a century ago in her Memoirs of an Arabian Princess, the first book published by an Arab woman.

Fino ad arrivare alla mèta, e a un imprevisto epilogo. Come per il percorso di un camminatore, ogni capitolo è una tappa, e ogni tappa un modo per raccontare quel che è stato di una nazione e della sua gente.

Nel 1914 sposò Carla Tosi, figlia del fondatore delle omonime officine meccaniche di Legnano. Consigliere delegato della Riva, ingegnere, era un visionario appassionato di archeologia.
