L’amore vince tutto. I misteri di Mercurio
Caravaggio is Nina’s favourite painter. And she can hardly believe her eyes when she, Lori and Jamal come across the great maestro himself, under an overturned boat on Feniglia beach. But the artist is feverish and battered, mumbling inarticulately. What’s happened to him? And what is the secret hidden in the precious cargo he was travelling with? Mercury’s riddles will guide the three friends on their exciting adventure in 17th century Maremma.
Manlio Castagna wrote and directed his first short film before he had graduated. He then began to collaborate with the Giffoni festival and was its deputy artistic director for a decade, until 2018 when he made his debut as a novelist with the bestselling Petrademone saga (Mondadori). He continues to churn out books and was shortlisted for the Strega Children’s Prize in 2021 with La notte delle Malombre (The Night of the Malombre), Mondadori.
