«La scoperta dell'alba» is the novel by Walter Veltroni, published by Rizzoli in 2006 in paperback (150 pages, in Italian).
Giovanni Astengo works at the State Archives and carries the disappearance of his father in childhood. As an adult, returning to the family country house, he finds a bakelite telephone that opens a path to the past. The novel combines that personal inquiry with the violence of the Years of Lead and with a reflection on the power of literature.
It is Walter Veltroni's first novel. The edition is the first and belongs to the Rizzoli romanzo collection.
For readers of contemporary Italian fiction interested in family dramas and plots that link personal memory with Italy's recent history.
