Roma : Paparo, 2023
Abstract: Il grande fascino che Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio esercita tuttora sugli spettatori consente di raccontare la sua storia in modo da illuminare tutte le vicende storico-artistiche italiane e europee fra la fine del Cinquecento e l’inizio del Seicento. Roma è in questi anni una città che attira un grande numero di giovani artisti, provenienti da ogni parte d’Europa e il giovane Michelangelo, lombardo di nascita e formazione, si trova gettato in un ambiente carico di novità, di rivalità, ma dove troverà amici fedeli, committenti appassionati e, soprattutto, diventerà se stesso, quel grande protagonista del naturalismo che il Novecento comincerà a riscoprire e a definire. La Galleria Borghese racconta tutta la sua vita in una stanza: dai quadri giovanili all’affermazione come pittore di pale d’altare alle sue ultime tragiche vicende.

[S.l.] : Hamish Hamilton, 2016
Abstract: This is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. Over the course of three weeks in present-day Washington DC, three sons watch their parents' marriage falter and their family home fall apart. Meanwhile, a larger catastrophe is engulfing another part of the world: a massive earthquake devastates the Middle East, sparking a pan-Arab invasion of Israel.
