Le tre valli della Sicilia

In the spring of 1860, a quiet Sicilian valley becomes the nerve centre of a daring uprising against foreign rule. A secret letter, penned by the determined Pardo of Sutera, sets a courier named Fuoco on a perilous night‑time journey, while the young Bino of Mussomeli wrestles with the sudden exposure of the conspiracy. Their loyalties are tested as the fragile network of rebels scrambles to evade capture and keep the dream of a united Italy alive.

Meanwhile, the ruthless informant Buscemo, driven by greed and self‑preservation, lurks in the shadows, ready to betray his own people for a handful of ducats. As the royal garrison tightens its grip and the threat of arrest looms, the villagers must decide whether to flee, fight, or succumb to the looming danger. The narrative paints a vivid portrait of honour, fear, and the desperate hope that one day the valleys of Sicily will hear the chant “Viva Italia!” without fear.
