ROMEO Y JULIETA EN LA MAFIA CALABRESA.

«Quiero contar la historia de amor más dramática y poderosa que jamás he encontrado . - Roberto Saviano

Rossella Casini tiene poco más de veinte años. Vive en Florencia y ha crecido en una familia cariñosa que le ha proporcionado una vida tranquila y sin privaciones. Pero estamos en la Italia de 1977: las plazas hierven de protestas políticas y las calles se llenan de rabia, violencia y heroína. Todo cambia cuando conoce a Francesco, un estudiante calabrés que vive lejos de su tierra. Entre ellos surge un amor intenso y desconocido para ambos. Sin embargo, tras los primeros meses de felicidad, Rossella descubre que la familia de Francesco está vinculada a un poderoso clan de la mafia.

Durante unas vacaciones en Palmi, adonde ha viajado con sus padres, presencia el estallido de una guerra entre clanes. La violencia se desata y arrastra a todos a su paso, pero Rossella se niega a marcharse sin Francesco. Está convencida de que su amor puede romper la espiral de violencia. El 22 de febrero de 1981, después de anunciar su regreso a casa, Rossella Casini desaparece sin dejar rastro. Nadie volverá a verla. Aunque su cuerpo nunca fue hallado, el Estado italiano la reconoce como víctima de la 'Ndrangheta.

Roberto Saviano reconstruye su historia en una novela profunda y desgarradora, un relato de amor, violencia y valentía sobre una de las páginas más oscuras de la Italia contemporánea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The author of Gomorrah is back with an impossible yet true story (La Repubblica).

ROMEO AND JULIET IN THE CALABRIAN MAFIA.

I want to tell the most dramatic and powerful love story I've ever encountered. - Roberto Saviano

Rossella Casini is in her early twenties. She lives in Florence and grew up in a loving family that provided her with a peaceful life free from hardship. But this is Italy in 1977: the squares are abuzz with political protests, and the streets are filled with rage, violence, and heroin. Everything changes when she meets Francesco, a Calabrian student living far from his homeland. An intense love blossoms between them, unlike anything either of them has known. However, after the first few months of happiness, Rossella discovers that Francesco's family is linked to a powerful mafia clan.

During a vacation in Palmi, where she has traveled with her parents, she witnesses the outbreak of a war between clans. Violence erupts and sweeps away everyone in its path, but Rossella refuses to leave without Francesco. She is convinced that their love can break the cycle of violence. On February 22, 1981, after announcing her return home, Rossella Casini disappears without a trace. No one will ever see her again. Although her body was never found, the Italian state recognizes her as a victim of the 'Ndrangheta.

Roberto Saviano reconstructs her story in a profound and heart-wrenching novel--a tale of love, violence, and courage set against one of the darkest chapters in contemporary Italian history.
