Albert, Berger

Albert François Ciocca, a native of Marseille, lived between 1907 and 1963, the year of his death, in the region of Montagne de Lure, where he worked as a shepherd. The shepherd Albert -- this is how he called himself -- would have fallen completely into oblivion if, many years later, a man had discovered by chance some short poetic texts written in pencil in some stones of a sheepfold.
