Mafia and Outlaw Stories from Italian Life and Literature
The first of its kind in English, Mafia and Outlaw Stories from Italian Life and Literature is a selection of readings from Italian fiction and non-fiction writers on the subject of the Mafia. Among the renowned writers featured are Giovanni Verga, Grazia Deledda, Anna Maria Ortese, Livia De Stefani, and Silvana La Spina, as well as famous witnesses such as Felicia Impastato, Letizia Battaglia, and Rita Atria who provide personal, often terrifying testimonies about their experiences with the Mafia. It is a historically diverse examination of criminal and outlaw institutions by some of the most significant figures in Italian literature. These newly translated writings show the ways in which I...

Black Madonnas
In the 1993 edition, I considered black madonnas a metaphor for a memory of the time when the earth was belived to be the body of woman and all creatures were equal, a memory transmitted in vernacular traditions of earth-bounded cultures, historically expressed in cultural and poltical resistance, and glimpsed today in movements aiming for transformation. Sine then my understanding of black madonnas has been deepened by genetics finding that the orgin of modern humans is Africa, that migrations from Africa carried a primordial belief in a dar woman divinity to all continents. Black madonnas and other dark women of the world suggest a metaphor for healing millennial divisions of gender and race and concerted movements for justice.
Italian Annotated Bibliography of Tuna, Tuna-like and Billfish Species
The Italian-annotated bibliography on tunas, tuna-like and billfish species is a sort of unicum, because for the very first time, it provides annotation in English for all papers published by Italian authors over the centuries in various languages. Taking into account that these species are an essential component of the Italian and Mediterranean culture, thousands of authors published a very high amount of papers since historical times, on various themes and subjects. These large fish species are nowadays not only essential elements of the marine trophic chain, but also important components of human seafood and the related fishery economy. This book makes all these papers internationally available for all scientists, helping them in their research activities and the annotations facilitate the searching work by species and keywords.

Thus, the book chapters arouse a series of relevant topics such as computatio...
I sette mari
Sette indicava la totalità. Si conoscevano i sette saggi, le sette meraviglie, le sette fatiche di Ercole, i sette colori dell’arcobaleno, i sette cieli, le sette note, le sette città d’oro. Forse per imitazione, esistono i sette sacramenti, le sette virtù, i sette vizi capitali e i sette giorni in cui Dio creò il mondo. I sette mari, dunque sono tutti i mari affrontati dall’Uomo, l’unico grande mare che avvolge la Terraferma prendendo nomi diversi, e alcune delle storie che ne hanno animato la superficie e gli abissi.
La trattativa
Dai processi di mafia sono emerse, nel tempo, verità inquietanti con le quali dobbiamo ancora fare i conti. L'esistenza di un patto tra istituzioni e Cosa Nostra è una di queste. Non si tratta di un ricordo, una stortura che riguarda solo P2, Sisde, politici lontani dalle scene: nuovi pentiti e nuovi processi gettano ancora ombre sulla nostra vita politica. Dalle testimonianze di Spatuzza, che ha fornito una diversa ricostruzione della strage di via D'Amelio, all'originale del papello consegnato ai giudici da Massimo Ciancimino insieme ad altre carte del padre, alle implicazioni emerse dal caso Ilardo, fino alle dichiarazioni del generale Mori, ex comandante del Ros, che contesta i collabo...

Bonjour Casimiro
Il libro tratteggia la vicenda di un uomo contemporaneo che si reca nei luoghi in cui visse il barone Casimiro Piccolo, acquerellista e fotografo, il quale, a partire dal 1932 scelse di abbandonare Palermo e i salotti ovattati della nobiltà cittadina, per trasferirsi nella villa di famiglia sulle appartate colline di Capo d’Orlando. Un “ritiro” dalla città voluto dalla madre, che Casimiro condivise con il fratello, il celebre poeta Lucio Piccolo, e con la sorella Agata Giovanna, esperta di botanica. La villa spesso era frequentata anche dal cugino Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa che amava soggiornarvi per ritrovare qui un’atmosfera familiare e cercare spunti per quello che sarebbe sta...
