La cera colorata. Io e il principe di Sansevero, con un inedito carteggio svizzero

A house, a bundle of lithographs, a memory that unfolds through the narrative. Riccardo de Sangro intertwines the biography of his family with the story of his illustrious ancestor, the Prince of Sansevero, in a tale that is both a quest for identity, a homage to memory, and an unveiling of a legacy that is as fascinating as it is unsettling. Among unpublished letters, childhood memories, and vivid portraits of men and women from a lost time, La cera colorata (The Colored Wax) is a clear and poignant journey into aristocratic and popular Naples, where the past resonates like a voice that has never gone out. A family novel that becomes a mirror of a city, a century, and a legacy that is never forgotten.
