Il romanzo della monaca di Monza. Un amore maledetto, una storia nera di sangue e santità, peccato e redenzione. Murata viva in una cella, una donna bellissima si consuma nel proprio tormento: è Marianna Virginia de Leyva, già monaca feudataria di Monza. ‘Cinque braccia per tre’ ripete a se stessa: tanto è lo spazio buio e angusto nel quale vivrà fino alla morte. La sua colpa? Aver amato di una passione infuocata Gian Paolo Osio quando era vicaria del monastero di Santa Margherita, costretta a prendere i voti da un padre assente e tiranno. Nella disperazione della prigionia, Virginia ripercorre la sua storia, in una girandola di immagini nere d’orrore e rosse di sangue. A partire dal giorno fatidico in cui lo vide per la prima volta, di là dal muro che separava il convento dalla sua abitazione. Ricorda quanto cupi e profondi fossero i suoi occhi e quanto i suoi sensi s’accesero d’un sentimento bruciante mentre la pelle pareva andarle a fuoco. Che cosa rimane ora di lei? Da quanto dura il suo castigo? E infine, come guadagnarsi il perdono, se un perdono esiste per un’anima come la sua? Coniugando il rigore della ricostruzione storica a una narrazione appassionata, Matteo Strukul mette in scena la vicenda della monaca di Monza, indimenticata protagonista dei Promessi sposi. Come in una confessione, Marianna rivela ai lettori la sua parabola di passione e delitto, suscitandone a un tempo l’orrore e la pietà.

A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE. A SECRET TO KILL FOR. The crypt of the Medici Chapel, Florence: palaeopathologist, Edie Granger, and her uncle, Carlin Mackenzie, examine the mummified remains of one of the most powerful families in Renaissance Italy. Under the crisp skin, the organs have shrivelled to a fraction of their original size, meaning it is difficult to gather a usable DNA sample. Edie and Mackenzie both have serious doubts about the true identity of at least two of the five-hundred-year-old bodies. And no one can explain the presence of an alien object discovered resting against Cosimo de Medici's spine. For Carlin Mackenzie, this is the most fascinating and the most dangerous discovery of his life. For Edie, it is the beginning of an obsessive, life-threatening quest...
