A brief, poignant memoir of artist Casy Deiss, known as Casio, one of the renowned Positano artists of the 1960s. The memoir, written by the artist's sister, focuses primarily on Casio's work and his life in Italy, ended abruptly in 1969 by a "colpo di fulmine". Already a legend in his own time, his story has been immortalized by Shawn Phillips' "The Ballad of Casey Deiss".
