Unfinished Business
Unfinished Business is the first book to examine Italian mafia cinema of the past decade. It provides insightful analyses of popular films that sensationalize violence, scapegoat women, or repress the homosexuality of male protagonists. Dana Renga examines these works through the lens of gender and trauma theory to show how the films engage with the process of mourning and healing mafia-related trauma in Italy. Unfinished Business argues that trauma that has yet to be worked through on the national level is displaced onto the characters in the films under consideration. In a mafia context, female characters are sacrificed and non-normative sexual identities are suppressed in order to solidify traditional modes of viewer identification and to assure narrative closure, all so that the image of the nation is left unblemished.

Bacterial Degradation of Organic and Inorganic Materials
This interdisciplinary work deals with the bacterial degradation of organic and inorganic materials such as prosthetic devices and the consequent production of non-engineered nanoparticles (NPs). Focus is put on the interaction of these, often toxic, NPs with the environment, the microorganisms and the host human body. Electron Microscopy is the method of choice to investigate bacterial colonization and degradation of plastic polymers. Hence one section of the book is fully dedicated to the most recent and interesting microscopy technologies in microbiology and soft matters. The final chapter of the book on the complex and multivariate relationships between a microscopist and electron microscopy images is dedicated to Lyubov Vasilievna Didenko (1958 – 2015), a passionate researcher who contributed substantially to the field of Electron Microscopy research and its applications in studying bacterial-polymer interactions. The book addresses researchers and advanced students working in general and clinical microbiology, nanobiology, materials sciences and image analysis fields.
Excellent Cadavers
Excellent Cadavers (a term used in Sicily to distinguish the assassination of prominent government officials from the hundreds of common criminals killed in the course of routine mafia business) tells of the remarkable investigation spearheaded by Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the two Sicilian prosecutors who in the 1980s took the war against the Mafia further than anyone had ever dared. In 1992, aware that the two magistrates were without the complete support of the Italian government, the Mafia assassinated them. In death they were hailed as national heroes; the massive public outcry demanded their investigations be completed. The outcome: the toppling of crucial alliances that had forged political rule in Italy since WWII and the criminal indictment of Italy's most prominent leaders.
Love, Honour, and Jealousy
As the economic miracle of the 1950s and 1960s transformed Italy from a poor and largely rural nation into a prosperous, modern one, attitudes to love changed too. This book draws on unpublished personal testimonies of ordinary men and women, exploring their thoughts on courtship, marriage, honour, forced marriage, jealousy, and marriage breakdown.
Gli amici senza volto di Corleone
Prefazione di Luca Tescaroli Il libro rievoca la drammatica storia di sangue e di fango, che ha avuto inizio con la nascita della Repubblica e dura tuttora. Ricorda le pagine buie di questa storia, caratterizzata dalla presenza inquietante di organizzazioni più o meno coperte, che hanno rappresentato un pericolo per la stabilità delle Istituzioni; la morte di Enrico Mattei e le altre numerose morti “misteriose”, che hanno scandito i passaggi più scabrosi della storia repubblicana; le stragi e gli omicidi del terrorismo nero e rosso; la strage di Ustica; il sequestro e l’uccisione del presidente DC Aldo Moro, il sequestro e la liberazione dell’assessore regionale DC Ciro Cirillo; T...
Il vile agguato
“Quando sei lì lì per aprire l’ultima porta, ecco: è proprio in quel momento che lo Stato ti ammazza”A Paolo Borsellino, spazzato via venti anni fa da un’autobomba sotto casa di sua madre, in via D’Amelio a Palermo, piaceva citare dal Giulio Cesare di Shakespeare la frase secondo cui “è bello morire per ciò in cui si crede. Chi ha paura muore ogni giorno, chi non ha paura muore una volta sola”. Il fatto è che l’omicidio di Borsellino è ormai diventato uno di quei buchi neri della storia italiana, simile in questo al rapimento Moro, in cui come in un gorgo si annodano e si raccolgono tutti i misteri, i protagonisti, le inconfessabili verità di un paese che ha sempre av...
