Malacqua : four days of rain in the city of naples, waiting for the occurrence of an extraordinary event
Pugliese, Nicola2017
Books, Manuscripts
Four days of rain trigger strange events across Naples: ghostly voices are heard and musical coins appear. As a journalist searches for meaning, we follow those enduring the floods. This portrait of a much-mythologized city captivated Italy when it was first published in 1977. Withdrawn at the author's request until his death in 2012, this is its first English publication. Nicola Pugliese (1944-2012) was born in Milan, but lived almost all his life in Naples.
