Nero ananas
by Aiolli, Valerio
The blast of December 12, 1969, in Piazza Fontana. The invisible rightwing extremists meet, comment, remember, plot. An anarchist drags himself from nation to nation, from defeat into defeat, awaiting the moment of redemption. A politician begins his slow but inexorable climb to power. Secret services try to figure it out. And a boy, the protagonist, sees his sister disappear and he is determined to do anything to find her again. Four years of intertwined destinies, escapes, returns, love and ha-tred. Four incandescent years in the history of Italy, from 1969 to 1973, told with precision and surprising evocative capacity.
