The fifth Commissario Ricciardi historical mystery in the series of “ingenious crime novels, written with intelligence and enthusiasm” (The Wall Street Journal). As Naples prepares for its holiday celebrations, behind the facade of order and happiness imposed by the fascist regime, lurks terrible poverty and blinding desperation. In a luxurious apartment on the Mergellina beach the bodies of a fascist militia officer and his wife have been found. The woman has had her throat cut while the man has been stabbed over sixty times. Seemingly, the hands of two separate killers have been at work. A statuette of San Giuseppe, patron saint of workers, lies in pieces on the floor. At the scene of the crime, Ricciardi, who has the dubious gift of being able to see and hear the last seconds in the lives of those who have suffered a violent death, listens to the enigmatic last words of the couple. Accompanied by his faithful partner Brigadier Raffaele Maione, and once more troubled by two women who compete for his attentions, the Commissario will have to trace a wide and frenetic arc through the streets of Naples in order to uncover the truth. “The refreshing lack of cynicism of de Giovanni’s two lead detectives, Brigadier Raffaele Maione and Commissario Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi, distinguishes the quietly enjoyable fifth Commissario Ricciardi mystery set in 1930s Naples. . . . Engaging characters and melancholy atmosphere.” —Publishers Weekly “One of the most entrancing series of crime novels.” —Shots Magazine “An absolutely terrific series.” —Open Letters Monthly

Il giallo si tinge di nero

By: Maurizio Massa

Una spumeggiante pasquinata basata sull?ironica parodia di personaggi e circostanze trafugati all'immaginario collettivo o recuperati da notizie di stampa pi? o meno recenti. Due fantasiosi racconti che si svolgono in Sicilia e che prendono spunto dall?indagine sulla misteriosa morte di un investigatore privato molto noto in citt?. La pista seguita dal commissario di polizia incaricato delle indagini insieme a uno dei due collaboratori della vittima, si ingarbuglia come un gomitolo di corda sottile ogni volta che sembra arrivare a qualcosa. Pian piano appare sempre pi? evidente che dietro tutti quei delitti si nasconde una trama pi? sottile e quello che sembrava un giallo assume sembianze diverse, dove gli intrecci tra mafia, massoneria e politica rendono via via pi? chiari i contorni del disegno.

Una Rolls Bianca - Diario di Nunzio l'Emigrante

By: Maurizio Massa

Nunzio è il classico bravo ragazzo. Studioso, corretto e, soprattutto, ottimista, come il Candido di Voltaire si lascia coinvolgere in grandi amicizie e profondi amori. Avvocato di successo, deve lasciare la toga ed emigrare in Germania dove è costretto a lavorare come operaio in un'azienda di stoccaggio e commercializzazione del pesce. Poi, improvvisamente, succede qualcosa che cambierà tutta la sua vita. Vince in premio con una bibita una bellissima Rolls e torna al suo paese natio. Al suo arrivo viene accolto come un esule che torna vittorioso e non ha il coraggio di spiegare come la vita sia dura per un emigrante e come non sia possibile riscattare le proprie origini nè metter soldi da parte. La mattina seguente, al suo risveglio, si rende conto di essere rimasto solo. Lui, le galline e pochi vecchi che non avevano più la forza di mettersi in viaggio.

Nameless Serenade

By: Maurizio de Giovanni

The ninth Commissario Ricciardi Neapolitan mystery is “noir with a heart, haunting and beautiful . . . A literary thriller of exceptional quality” (NB Magazine). Years ago, Vinnie Sannino left Naples on a ship bound for America, where he found fame and fortune as a boxer. But his gilded life in the new world came to an abrupt end when, during a fight, with a heavy punch to the head of his opponent, Vinnie killed a man in the ring. Now, Vinnie’s back in Italy, pining for the woman he left behind. Cettina, however, is now a married woman. She was, at least, until her husband was recently found dead, killed by a single blow to the head. For Commissario Ricciardi, one of the most faceted cops in fiction, and his partner Maione, it is a going to be a long, rainy, week in Naples. “Deep melancholy infuses the crafty whodunit plot of de Giovanni’s superior ninth mystery set in 1930s Italy . . . Ricciardi, who’s literally haunted by visions of the dead, continues to be one of the most nuanced and intriguing sleuths in contemporary crime fiction.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “De Giovanni is one of the best historical crime writers out there. His Commissario Ricciardi novels, set during the fascist period in Italy, are intelligent and totally engrossing. Nameless Serenade is a perfect addition to the series; a really satisfying murder mystery, an insight into 1930s Naples and a thrilling chapter in the life of the Commissario. Lyrical prose and intriguing rounded characters contribute to making this one of the finest in the Ricciardi chronicles.” —NB Magazine

Anche le mie viscere sanno di fiori

By: Maurizio Mequio

Si muore di giorno, per la strada. Quando si contano i minuti che ci separano da casa. Si muore lavorando e prendendo a botte la vita. "Anche le mie viscere sanno di fiori" significa devo sputare fuori quello che provo, perché necessario. E allora scopro che solo l'amore ha un senso, se si riesce ad amare oltre modo. Oltre la gabbia. Ma siamo rinchiusi, siamo semi-sterilizzati. Vogliono interrompere la nostra eiaculazione di soggettività. C'è un però, un però triste, ma liberatore. Siamo esseri umani, capaci di trasformare il linguaggio. Lasciando tracce di noi, lasciandole a caso, impresse di getto sul pavimento. Evadere dal mondo, occupandolo di sé. Riscoprirsi ragni, buttandosi addosso a chi si ama, senza paure. La pelle si fa nostra, solo se la vita torna ad essere fatta per essere vissuta. Si può scrivere anche per questo. Per iniziare a vivere.

Banks and Business Networks

Management, Governance and Financial Implications

By: Josanco Floreani,Enrico Geretto,Maurizio Polato,Giulio Velliscig

While there is a vast amount of literature examining firm’s networks from an industrial organization perspective, the financial implications of networking remain underexplored. This book fills this gap, by investigating the phenomenon of business networks in the context of management and governance processes, and the related effects on interactions with the financial system in general, and credit institutions in particular. Networking is examined both from the demand (firms) and supply (banking institutions) perspective, thus, the book offers several contributions. It outlines the critical issues connected to business aggregations from the point of view of the management of information flows, and addresses the problem of identifying the role of banking ecosystems, in light of the transformations taking place in the financial industry, considering the growing complementarity between bank and market instruments in corporate financing. It explores the problem of identifying rating models for business networks, as well as, for individual participants on a stand-alone basis. Further, the book analyses a sample of networks in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and profiles a number of specific business cases.The book will be of particular interest to researchers and scholars in the field of banking and finance but also entrepreneurship and small business management. It will also find an audience among scholars from a wide array of additional fields, working on the relationship between financing concerns and growth opportunities.

The Incredible Life of George Hunt Williamson

Mystical Journey

By: Michel Zirger and Maurizio Martinelli

The first comprehensive biography of a true pioneer, George Hunt Williamson. A world premiere! Most of the information results from the perseverance, the passion and the painstaking investigative efforts of researcher and author, Michel Zirger.The reader will find a great many revelations, in particular about the first “Close Encounter of the Third Kind” in modern times, at the end of which photographs and plaster casts of alien footprints were made; the unexpected connection between Williamson and the famous Italian Amicizia (“Friendship”) case; and his mystical stay in the Andes. Williamson’s life is totally “revisited” thanks to unpublished documents now in Michel Zirger's possession, which will end errors and gossip that has been rehashed for decades.We owe Williamson for the concept of “Ancient Aliens,” developed in seminal books such as Other Tongues–Other Flesh, Secret Places of the Lion, Road in the Sky and Secret of the Andes. Maurizio Martinelli’s erudition offers innovative insights on certain aspects of George Hunt Williamson’s life, for instance, the affinities of his work with that of Zecharia Sitchin.Martinelli is the Italian specialist of George Hunt Williamson. An accurate researcher with a fair and balanced view, he forms the perfect tandem with Michel Zirger to decipher the life and work of this enigmatic figure, whose influence remains strong in the field of ufology and esotericism.

Wars and Capital

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Wars and Capital

By: Eric Alliez,Maurizio Lazzarato

A critique of capital through the lens of war, and a critique of war through the lens of the revolution of 1968. “We are at war,” declared the President of the French Republic on the evening of November 13, 2015. But what is this war, exactly? In Wars and Capital, Éric Alliez and Maurizio Lazzarato propose a counter-history of capitalism to recover the reality of the wars that are inflicted on us and denied to us. We experience not the ideal war of philosophers, but wars of class, race, sex, and gender; wars of civilization and the environment; wars of subjectivity that are raging within populations and that constitute the secret motor of liberal governmentality. By naming the enemy (refugees, migrants, Muslims), the new fascisms establish their hegemony on the processes of political subjectivation by reducing them to racist, sexist, and xenophobic slogans, fanning the flames of war among the poor and maintaining the total war philosophy of neoliberalism. Because war and fascism are the repressed elements of post-'68 thought, Alliez and Lazzarato not only read the history of capital through war but also read war itself through the strange revolution of '68, which made possible the passage from war in the singular to a plurality of wars—and from wars to the construction of new war machines against contemporary financialization. It is a question of pushing “'68 thought” beyond its own limits and redirecting it towards a new pragmatics of struggle linked to the continuous war of capital. It is especially important for us to prepare ourselves for the battles we will have to fight if we do not want to be always defeated.

The Albergo Diffuso Model

Community-based hospitality for a sustained competitive advantage

The Albergo Diffuso Model

Community-based hospitality for a sustained competitive advantage

By: Maurizio Droli

The hospitality model called "Albergo Diffuso" (AD), or "scattered hotel," has been engneered by Mr Giancarlo Dall'Ara and described by The New York Times as a way of bringing life back to historic towns and rural hamlets by utilizing unused rooms for tourism. This "simple but genial" model devised in Italy in the mid-90's received an award from the UNDP for its sustainability, but despite the spread of AD's, no peer-reviewed books have previously been published in English focusing on this innovation. In this book, the author therefore begins by exploring the AD as a community-based hospitality model, examining both its pros and cons. He then considers conviviality, sense of security, and other factors that Hans Magnus Enzensberger referred to as luxuries of our time for urban dwellers. These represent the key pre-requisites a location must possess to be deemed suitable for this innovation. Next, investors and co-interested private, public and not-for-profit associations are provided with a structured framework to help them achieve a defensible competitive advantage by harnessing the economic potential of valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable (VRIN) resources. The final section assesses the AD as a business model, evaluating various aspects at the heart of any business plan.

Business Models

A Research Overview

By: Christian Nielsen,Morten Lund,Marco Montemari,Francesco Paolone,Maurizio Massaro,John Dumay

The growing body of research on business models draws upon a range of sub-disciplines, including strategic management, entrepreneurship, organization studies and management accounting. Business Models: A Research Overview provides a research map for business scholars, incorporating theoretical and applied perspectives. It develops the field of business model research by offering a critique of the field as it has developed to date and provides a guide for future research and theorization. The research performed as a basis for this book improves and extends prior subjective and less-documented work by using a scientific approach to identifying impactful research. The book argues that business model research is a mature field and that future research should focus on performative and ecosystem-based contributions, with the timely identification of four distinct stages of business model research. The study here provokes a new set of research questions, which are addressed in the concluding passages of Chapters 5–8, as a point of departure for those researching business models. This book is essential primary reading for scholars and practitioners of business models who are looking to seek out new knowledge and build new perspectives.

Italian Heavy Cruisers

From Trento to Bolzano

By: Maurizio Brescia,Augusto de Toro

When the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 effectively banned the building of battleships, competition between the major navies concentrated on the next most powerful category, heavy cruisers limited to 10,000 tons displacement and 8-inch guns. Italy followed this trend, the first design for what became Trento and Trieste being ordered in 1924. These were the fastest of the first generation ‘Treaty’ cruisers but were very lightly armored, and the succeeding Zara class of four ships were slower but better protected. However, before the final ship of this class (Pola) had been completed, there was a return to the earlier fast, lightly protected concept with the Bolzano, although this ship also incorporated aspects of the Zara design. The political background, design history and technical features of these classes are covered in great depth in this volume. They were important ships, subject to incremental improvement so no two were identical, and modelmakers in particular will appreciate the space devoted to the variations in appearance, using both description and illustration. As major units of the Italian battlefleet, they were more active than most during the war and their careers are fully detailed, including analyzes of damage suffered. Tragically, they were all sunk and the full circumstances of each loss is explored. As befits a technical history, the book is thoroughly illustrated with ship and armament plans, detail drawings and color camouflage schemes, as well as an outstanding collection of photographs. Translated from the same series that produced the highly successful Italian Battleships, this volume is a fitting companion.
