NAPLES 1343: The Unexpected Origins of the Mafia by Professor of Medieval History Amedeo Feniello

Details: 1343: there is famine in Naples. After nightfall, a Genoese ship loaded with wheat is attacked by members of two local clans who brutally kill several sailors and their captain. The attackers returned to the city, greeted by the cheers of their countrymen, and the blind eye of the authorities. The Republic of Genoa presented the Kingdom of Naples with a formal protest against the incident. But, in a historical document of great importance today, King Charles I of Anjou admitted he did not control his own city, that the true rulers of Naples were the “family.”

When you think of the Mafia, you mat not go back to the 1300’s or think of Italy as a land of invasions at that time. This book looks at the history of Italy in the way that introduces family alliance as far back as ever known before in a time where resistance was a way of life in that country. These families were participating in the business of the royal family and serving as a new class of directors, officers, and bureaucrats. Whether you are intrigued by the history of the mafia or Italy’s history, the Author does a great job in his balance of both. It could otherwise be titles: The Forgotten History or Italy.

You can pre-order a copy today for its November release.
