Niente male, ma avendo dato 5 stelle al capolavoro di Jean Bérard, "La Magna Grecia", devo tenermi per forza sulle tre stelle e mezzo. Comunque tanto di cappello al lavoro svolto da VMM con Lorenzo Braccesi .

La mia opinione deve essere presa con le pinse, poiché raramenente un saggio storico riesce a coinvolgermi nella lettura. Tuttavia, da adulatore dello scrittore archeologo, devo ammettere che è stato difficile arrivare alla fine del libro.
Lo consiglio per chi ha voglia di acculturarsi.
Lo sconsiglio per chi, come me, nei libri cerca delle emozioni.
