FALL OF THE FLORIOS: STEFANIA AUCI MEETS SARA MARINELLI @Libreria Pino
IT/EN | Join Stefania Auci and Sara Marinelli as they discuss Stefania’s latest book, Fall of the Florios, the magnificent conclusion of the bestselling Florios trilogy—an international sensation based on a real-life family, published in 40 countries and adapted into the TV series Lions of Sicily for Disney+ and Hulu. In Fall of the Florios, Auci chronicles the decline of Italy’s most powerful and notorious family against the ever-shifting social landscape of 1890s-1930s Sicily. For more than 60 years, the Florios have reigned supreme, establishing the city of Palermo as a European beacon of commerce, and making Sicily one of Italy’s most powerful regions. But now fate has taken a turn. Join the author in bilingual conversation with USF writing professor Sara Marinelli!
