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
