Iraq, where everything began

From Basra to Baghdad, through the Mesopotamian Marshes, Ur, Najaf and Samarra.

A note on language. I write my travel journals in Italian, my mother tongue, because it is the language in which I can describe emotions most naturally. Automatic English and German translations are available within each chapter.
