Terroni: All That Has Been Done to Ensure that the Italians of the South Became "Southerners" (VIA Folios)

Literary Nonfiction. Translated from the Italian by Ilaria Marra Rosiglioni. "Pino Aprile's TERRONI is one of those books that could cause a revolution, albeit a peaceful one, if read by enough people. It could become 'the spark that starts the fire' by igniting a sentiment of unity among southern Italians, who are discovering that something is missing in mainstream history books informing how Italy was united 150 years ago."— Naples Politics Pino Aprile is a journalist and author of numerous books. Currently residing in the Castelli Romani region of Lazio, Italy, he worked for many years in Milan where he was deputy director of Gente and director of Oggi. For television, he worked with Sergio Zavoli on the investigative series Journey South and on weekly programs for RAI News1. His bestseller TERRONI: ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ENSURE THAT THE ITALIANS OF THE SOUTH BECOME "SOUTHERNERS" sold over 200,000 copies in Italy during its first year in print. A English translation is available in the US from Bordighera Press.
