Abstract
Criminal novel by Giancarlo De Cataldo recounts the rise and fall of the Banda della Magliana, a criminal group that dominated the Roman scene from the seventies to the eighties. Through the events of the Lebanese, the Cold and the Dandi, the novel intertwines history and fiction, providing a powerful fresco of Italy in those years, marked by corruption, terrorism and compromises between crime and power. With a raw and realistic style, De Cataldo explores violence, friendship and ambition, showing how the dream of absolute domination inevitably turns into ruin.
