Senza paura

Synopsis of Senza paura

Senza paura is inspired by the true story of Ciro Esposito, the young man killed near the Olympic Stadium in Rome on May 3, 2014, before the Coppa Italia final between Napoli and Fiorentina. It is a gripping novel that shakes and deeply moves the reader, in which the perverse dynamics that culminated in a murder and the shadows of the 'Mafia Capitale' investigation merge into a completely reinvented context. The story of Bruno, the young protagonist, takes shape in the midst of his tormented adolescence, marked by the premature death of his mother and suspended between his love for the beautiful Na'weh—a young foreigner raised in Italy who insists on defending the purity of sports values—and the controversial relationship that binds him to his father, Antonio—an ultra, a football fanatic, a man who lives in his crazy normality all the degradation that an insane passion for football can lead to. In the stubborn search for his father's love, Bruno and Antonio will reach an open confrontation, but in the end, in the hour of truth, they will find themselves fighting side by side, together in the most difficult moment.
