Canal Mussolini is a celebrated historical novel that chronicles the odyssey of the Peruzzi family, a group of Marxist peasants who, after befriending Benito Mussolini, become immersed in the political and social transformation of Fascist Italy. The story follows their migration to the Pontine Marshes in 1932, where they participate in one of the dictatorship's most ambitious engineering projects, while the tensions of World War II and omens of an uncertain future shape their lives. With vivid prose and sharp irony, Antonio Pennacchi offers a striking and uncompromising portrait of this turbulent era, blending elements of a historical western with a deep human exploration of a nation transformed.
