In the large hall of the Ubik bookshop in Lungosabato Bacchelli, lovers of the Neapolitan writer’s writing and atmosphere Maurizio De Giovanni, they applauded warmly and for a long time the writer who came to the city to present his latest editorial production. The book “Rain for the Bastards of Pizzofalcone”, published by Einaudi, traces the now legendary activity of a group of policemen dealing with crime in the streets of the historic center of the Capital of Southern Italy. The author, who came to the Samnite capital as part of the ‘Il Maggio dei Libri’ initiative which enjoys the patronage of the Municipality, appeared very struck by the esteem, warmth and affection of the many Benevento readers present among the book shelves of Ubik and paid homage to the bookshop, stating: “this place is a garrison of freedom”.
Doing the honors, in addition obviously to the ownership of the bookshop, were the mayor Clemente Mastella, the municipal councilor Antonella Tartaglia Polcini, the artistic director of Città Spettacolo Renato Giordano and the former senator Danila De Lucia. But what are the Bastards up to this time, who in the thriller saga have long since overflowed the printed page to “present themselves” in front of the objectives of a successful TV series on the Raiuno networks? In De Giovanni’s latest editorial effort, obviously also set in Naples, the undisputed protagonist is always the “bastard” more “bastard” than the others, that is, the inspector of the State Police Giuseppe Lojacono, a Sicilian transferred to Naples because he was unjustly accused of collaboration with the mafia. Like every novel in the series saga, the pages develop around a tragic case on which the men of the Pizzofalcone police station carry out their investigations: here, at the center of the mystery, there is the killing of an unbeatable criminal lawyer.
During the meeting, De Giovanni reiterated a concept that was known to many: the writer said he was in love with Benevento: “PI think it’s a perfect balance, a mix of modern culture, architecture and nature. I’m very happy every time I can be here.”
The author then made an appointment on TV: “I invite you to first follow Commissioner Ricciardi; and then we are writing the fifth series of the Bastards of Pizzo Falcone, probably in 2026.”
