«Catilina. Ritratto di un uomo in rivolta» is the historical biography by Massimo Fini, published by Mondadori in paperback (168 pages, in Italian).
Massimo Fini moves away from the account of Sallust and Cicero to present Catiline as a patrician who, despite his origins, embraced the cause of the plebs against the oligarchy. The work contrasts the values of archaic Rome —honor, courage, loyalty— with the corruption and privileges of the ruling class.
It belongs to the Oscar Storia collection by Mondadori, number 149. The edition is from 1998 and the original work dates from 1996.
For readers of Roman history and biographies that critically review the canonical version of classical figures.
