The sweeping arrests of 1979-1981 after the murder of the Christian democrat dude help fill the blanks for Nadia and Pasquale’s hideout/arrest in the Neapolitan novels. The terrorism too helpful for background when lenu moved back to Naples. The rest is hard to follow. What a shit show should be the subtitle of this book sigh

I did not know that Italy unified in 1861. That’s so late! Also a month before the U.S. civil war started. Che strano!
