Venere privata. La prima indagine di Duca Lamberti
by Bacilieri Paolo , Scerbanenco GiorgioMilan suburbs. Alberta, a young shop assistant, is found dead. Duca Lamberti, a former doctor disbarred for helping an elderly patient to die, needs work after three years in prison. He agrees to take care of the alcoholic son of a rich businessman, Pietro Auseri, and help him get sober. The two stories become intertwined when Lamberti discovers that the young man has turned to alcohol because he believes he is guilty of the girl\’s death and enters the investigation led by Inspector Carrua. Paolo Bacilieri, one of the most important authors of contemporary Italian comics, closely follows the actors in this drama without melodrama, and reveals little by little, through the decomposition of the panel, the alternation of the point of view, the zoom or the long shot, and an eroticism that indiscriminately caresses bodies and architecture, the small stories shrouded in the fog of criminal Milan: young prostitutes for need or curiosity, sleazy pornography trades, murders. And the intellectual resistance of Duca Lamberti and Livia, a young woman who offers herself as bait to catch Alberta’s killer.
