La prima cosa che scaturisce dalla lettura del libro di Salvatore Monetti è il sentimento di calore e di amore che egli nutre per la terra di Tramonti, una terra che l’autore ha adottato e da cui è stato adottato. Il fotografo che si annida nell'animo di Salvatore Monetti emerge, oltre che dalle foto inserite nel libro, dalle accurate descrizioni che sono indice della naturale propensione dell’artista a cogliere i particolari più nascosti e perciò tanto più significativi di luoghi, cose e persone. Nel lessico e nello stile semplice, naturale e spontaneo, perfettamente adeguato all'argomento, è possibile cogliere sfumature che testimoniano la sensibilità e le doti poetiche dell’autore di cui egli ha già dato prova in opere precedenti. Questo di Salvatore Monetti è certamente un libro originale: né storico né ricette in senso tradizionale, ma una fotografia di Tramonti nei suoi aspetti naturali, umani, produttivi e potenziali di un paese che, seppur vecchio di anni, può considerarsi “in divenire” grazie alla tenacia, alla passione e alla laboriosità degli abitanti e della classe dirigente locale. Autori: Salvatore Monetti.
