Sulla morte di Pecorelli sono stati versati fiumi di inchiostro. Nel corso degli anni, giornalisti, politici e scrittori di professione si sono cimentati nell'arduo compito di ricostruire il contesto storico in cui maturò quel delitto nel modo più dettagliato possibile, scavando nel torbido degli Anni di Piombo e della Strategia della tensione. Ecco allora comparire come ombre sulla scena del crimine personaggi legati a filo doppio a politica, servizi segreti, Banda della Magliana, banche, mafia, NAR.

Trentacinque anni non sono bastati per far luce sul caso Moro. Inchieste giudiziarie e parlamentari, saggi, articoli e film non sono serviti a illuminare tutte le zone d'ombra del delitto che - forse più di ogni altro nella nostra storia repubblicana - ha colpito la coscienza del Paese e incrinato il rapporto tra società civile e mondo politico. Ecco perché vale ancora la pena di analizzare la dinamica dei 55 giorni di prigionia di Aldo Moro, nel tentativo finalmente di dare delle risposte diverse dalla versione ufficiale dei fatti.

Terribili eccidi di persone innocenti, sacrificate a trame segrete e oscure ragioni di Stato. Stragi ancora impunite, che hanno avvelenato il clima politico e sociale del nostro Paese e aumentato la sfiducia del popolo italiano verso le istituzioni. Ferdinando Imposimato - giudice da sempre in prima linea, che durante la sua carriera ha indagato su alcune delle pagine più drammatiche della parabola repubblicana - ricostruisce, con documenti inediti e una originale visione d'insieme, i fatti di sangue orditi da terroristi di destra e di sinistra, servizi segreti deviati, bande armate.

Montalto si ritrova presto da solo nelle indagini e accerchiato dalle minacce, e il 25 gennaio 1983 viene freddato da un commando di sicari.

Beginning with the often violent circumstances of Dante's life, the book examines his successive works as testimony to the course of his passionate humanity: his lyric poetry through to the Vita nova as the great work of his first period; the Convivio, De vulgari eloquentia and the poems of his early years in exile; and the Monarchia and the Commedia as the product of his maturity.

From 1934 until 1944, Mussolini met Hitler numerous times, and the two developed a relationship that deeply affected both countries. While Germany is generally regarded as the senior power, Christian Goeschel demonstrates just how much history has underrepresented Mussolini's influence on his German ally. Goeschel, a scholar of 20th-century Germany and Italy, revisits all of Mussolini and Hitler's key meetings and asks how these meetings constructed a powerful image of a strong Fascist-Nazi relationship that still resonates with the general public.

"Il Muto di Gallura" è un personaggio a dir poco leggendario, probabilmente il più famoso dei "banditi vendicatori" dell'Ottocento sardo. Sebastiano Tansu Addis, questo il vero nome del "muto", era popolarissimo già in vita e venne reso immortale dal romanzo storico di Enrico Costa, un bestseller di fine '800. Una storia pazzesca, quella del Muto, tanto che fece sorgere vere e proprie leggende. Oggi, finalmente, questa incredibile vicenda è diventata anche un audiolibro, grazie all'adattamento e alla messa in voce magistrale di Gaetano Marino.

MAFIA. CAMORRA. 'NDRANGHETA. The Sicilian mafia, known as Cosa Nostra, is far from being Italy's only dangerous criminal fraternity. The country hosts two other major mafias: the camorra from Naples; and, from the poor and isolated region of Calabria, the mysterious 'ndrangheta, which has now...

Tacitus, who condemns the depravity of these rulers, which he saw as proof of the corrupting force of absolute power, writes caustically of the brutal and lecherous Tiberius, the weak and cuckolded Claudius, and "the artist" Nero. In particular, his account of the bloody reigns of Tiberius and Nero brims with plots, murder, poisoning, suicide, uprisings, death, and destruction. The Annals also provides a vivid account of the violent suppression of the revolt led by Boudicca in Britain, the great fire of Rome under Nero, and the subsequent bloody persecution of the Christians.

Can you imagine painting without Leonardo, opera without Verdi, fashion without Armani, food without the signature tastes of pasta, gelato, and pizza? The first universities, first banks, first public libraries? All Italian.

When Hitler’s armies occupied Italy in 1943, they also seized control of mankind’s greatest cultural treasures. As they had done throughout Europe, the Nazis could now plunder the masterpieces of the Renaissance, the treasures of the Vatican, and the antiquities of the Roman Empire. On the eve of the Allied invasion, General Dwight Eisenhower empowered a new kind of soldier to protect these historic riches.
