Boffo da Massa: A Historical Tale from the 14th Century

See all formats and editions

"e;Boffo da Massa"e; by Giovanni Polini is no ordinary historical tale.

It's a tribute to the Fermano region and a gift to the people of Carassai, given in a time - 1888, when few had the ability to read and access historical information. This tale plunges readers into the 14th century, a tumultuous period for Fermano (in the Marche Region of Italy), a land rich in events and battles.

The protagonist, Boffo, is a valiant but flawed warrior, a negative character who embodies the tyrants of Fermano.

Through this figure, Polini aligns with the pre-unification literary movement, using his story as a vehicle to paraphrase the political ferment of his time. "e;Boffo da Massa"e; is more than just the chronicle of a man or a region.

It is a vivid portrayal of an era, a tribute to the past of a people and their land.

Polini's gift to his contemporaries in Carassai was not merely a story, but a key to a rich cultural and historical heritage that might have otherwise remained hidden. "e;Boffo da Massa"e; is a journey back in time, an adventure that will introduce you to a distant and fascinating past.

Prepare for an engrossing read filled with history and intrigue.
