Taking the trial of former Prime Minister, Giulio Andreotti, for alleged Mafia involvement as a starting point, Peter Robb uses history, painting, literature and food to shed some light on this beautiful island's notorious reputation.

"One of the great charms of Robb's book is his evident delight in southern Italy, particularly its food, which is recorded with such intensity of memory that one can almost taste it ¿ As an introduction to post-war Italy, to the country as well as its politics it can have few equals" - Caroline Moorehead Times Literary Supplement
