How was a family, starting from nothing, able to build an economic empire in such a short time? And how could this empire collapse so quickly and be forgotten in the folds of History?
Through its reversals of fortune, the Stucky saga revives in each of us the flavor and strength of family epics and echoes several contemporary myths: that of the selfmade man, of the success story, that of greatness and the decadence, the fall of the powerful.
Beyond the twists and turns worthy of the greatest soap operas, if the destiny of this family arouses so much charm and astonishment, it is because it embodies an entire era. That of a total transformation of Europe at the end of the 19th century.
