The St. Patrignano Community was officially born on October 31, 1979; at that time the community had 30 people in its care. On January Ist, 1994 the guests numbered 2,165. In 14 years many thousands of young people have spent a more or less long period in this community. The present research examined a group of these young people - precisely 711 - trying to highlight the most decisive points of their experience and personal history, from their admission to the community to the present time.

The people composing the ((sample>) stayed in the community at least 14 months and may be therefore considered as a sort of ((hard core,) of St. Patrignano guests. A team of researchers interviewed them directly in their present residence towns and reconstructed with them their stories, paying particular attention to the sometimes extremely difficult passages of their routes. The young interviewees expressed their evaluation on the community experience, going back with their memory to its most sad and stimulating situations, as well as to the leaving and the return into the society with old and new friendship, family and work experiences combined into a new pattern of sociality.

This book analyses their stories, by reading them in the light of an interpretative model in which community and society cease to be the poles of two opposite life projects: 711 stories that we tried to read in a hypothesis of impendent realism.
