The novel reconstructs the true story of Rossella Casini, a twenty-two-year-old Florentine university student who, in the late 1970s, fell in love with Francesco Frisina, a Calabrian student living away from home. Rossella only later discovered that Francesco's family was closely linked to a powerful 'Ndrina (mafia) in Palmi, embroiled in a bloody feud. In the name of her love and the utopia of saving her fiancé and changing reality, Rossella decided not to run away and even collaborated with the magistrates. On February 22, 1981, after a final phone call to her father, Rossella disappeared into thin air in Palmi, brutally murdered and disappeared by the 'Ndrangheta as punishment for her rebellion.

Dentro Roma poster
6.0

A recollection of a night spent walking the streets of the Eternal City, following the steps of two young boys: Vlad, a modern Romanian boy of life, and Cosimo who has just moved to the city. Both cross the city from head to toe in search of redemption, liberation or perhaps a place to hide. To find it they will go as far as the sea, as far as the body of a young prostitute, but they will find it, perhaps, only in the feeling that brings them together and binds them.
