Rainulfo il normanno che fondò Aversa

Based on often conflicting or imprecise sources and news, with fervent imagination, but with rigorous adherence to known facts and precise consistency with the era, the life of Rainulf Drengot and his brothers comes alive in the novel from his adolescence to the settlement that precedes the foundation of Aversa.

At the dawn of the second millennium, fictional events and characters blend with carefully documented places, people, and situations, as the narrative follows the paths taken by the protagonists in Normandy, France, and England, up to the longest and definitive journey south.

A journey where, amid the anguish of war and uncertainty, comfort is sought in a strong religious sentiment, where ancestral values of family, friendship, loyalty, and honor are never secondary. A story from a thousand years ago that is at the same time current, engaging, and full of humanity and passion.
