Cagliari, at the town hall there is Pietrangelo Buttafuoco

Arrives in Cagliari , in the courtyard of Palazzo Baccaredda, Pietrangelo Buttafuoco , a very prolific journalist and writer, in great demand in the most important Rai and Mediaset television talk shows, who, at the invitation of the Municipality, will present his latest novel "They are things that pass" published by La Nave di Teseo.

In tonight's meeting, scheduled for 6.30 pm, the author will be interviewed by the journalist of L'Unione Sarda Giuseppe Meloni.

Mayor Paolo Truzzu will also speak.

After the Second World War, the baron of dubious nobility Rodolfo Polizzi married Octavia Princess of Bauci and took her with him to Leonforte, a town in the hinterland of Sicily. In that summer of 1951 when, not far away, on the island of Vulcano Roberto Rossellini fell in love with Ingrid Bergman and, in Capo d'Orlando, Lucio Piccolo with his brothers Casimiro and Agata Giovanna - Octavia's uncles - received the jet set internationally, Lucy Thompson , his wife's college friend, arrived at the home of the candid Rodolfo to wake up the princess's youth past, all of strange rites and student sabbaths.

Under the eyes of Miss Lia, enthusiastic witness of an electrifying season, while Baron Polizzi falls ill and the princess lets herself be seduced by a master builder, the whole of Leonforte turns into pandemonium.

But a few years later Carlo Delcroix , a soldier hero - blind and mutilated - pushes her to a crucial, but perhaps vain choice.

A seductive and fiery novel like Sicily, an Italian-style divorce that Pietrangelo Buttafuoco transforms into a modern feminine Faust.

On Saturday 27th the author will do an encore: he will be among the protagonists of Sanluri Legge , the literary review that has reached its sixth edition to be held at the suggestive Medieval Castle and will have as its main theme the role of culture and reading in a terrible period of war : "Books builders of peace and solidarity".

The inaugural appointment at 6.30 pm foresees, in the first part, the presentation of the book by Valentina Cebeni, “ A new life, the Fontamara saga ”, published by Sperling & Kupfer, followed by the meeting with Buttafuoco.
