How many children's books do you know set during the Risorgimento? Very few. Yet it's a historical period brimming with strong emotions and recounting heroic deeds. It teems with youthful battles, tragically spectacular and cinematic in tone, like the one at the center of this novel, fought on June 24, 1859, between Solferino and San Martino. Manlio Castagna 's Di fuoco e seta (Mondadori) is a fresh look at distant times, recounting in compelling style the incredible adventure of three young people and the days they spent together against the backdrop of an Italy that was just forming, adding an element that brings the historical novel to a more magical dimension. The author is interviewed by the children of Libera-Mente , the 11-13 year old reading group at the 0-18 library in Cuneo.
