The flight of the swan
March 1978. In a Roma frightened and disoriented terrorist escalation tightening Italy in an unprecedented stranglehold, Matthew, writing to the FAI and convinced anarchist and practitioner convinces some militants of his circle to put into practice his own particular idea, crazy but ingenious, to give the final shove to the government of the politicians and the petit bourgeois society of the time, as well as to get the better of the dreaded cousins of the Red Brigades. Simultaneously Lavinia De Bernardiis, girl of noble birth but rebellious heraldry, as well as to his wealthy family, and right-minded, affectionate to his grandmother Caterina that considers and treats her like his daughter, following the stroke that affects the elderly woman , decides to implement its own with her his belief that "in life each of us must be able to choose to live as to die" taking, with this decision, a road that will force her to run away from Italy, as well, for very different reasons, will have Matthew. But, although individuals very different and apparently placed on parallel tracks, will enjoy life to bring together the two boys and make them fall in love, greatly complicating a story in itself far from the usual behavior patterns.
It goes without saying that while historical events reported in the novel are real and responsive to the chronicles, the story of Lavinia and Matthew is purely invented, even if made plausible because centered on true events.
