New edition.

''The action of the book is set close to March 1977, the months of the creative revolt, of the tanks sent to garrison the university citadel. But Boccalone is above all a story of love, even before it is a story of political crisis, the story of how a falling in love can upset one's equilibrium, create new intensities. It is a book that testifies to a growth, of its author, first and foremost, of his character, of his circle of friends. The snapshots of this growth process are described with extreme freshness, scrupulously annotated without any complacency, without narcissism.'' Pier Vittorio Tondelli
