Well, come with me and discover the atmosphere of this place, called also Coppedè Quarter, from the name of the architect who designed the fascinating buildings. I love Rome and in particular this very place, so that I set here one of my books, an involving thriller “Those strange girls” (Italian: “Quelle strane ragazze”). The book is at the moment only in the Italian edition, but the following is the plot in English:
We are at the beginning of the nineties, the Berlin wall was recently demolished, the world political order is rapidly changing and new forms of espionage are being tested. In the Roman district Coppedè or Magico, as it is commonly defined, a new day is beginning and the stories of different characters are woven around the roar of the Fountain of the Frogs. A man is alone in the house, determined this time to succeed in trying to take his own life. Opposite, in one of the mysterious buildings, some girls work as clerks for a prestigious international organization, coordinated by the director’s elderly secretary. The lives and destinies of the protagonists will intertwine in an unpredictable way, in the osmosis of changing events, which will forever mark their path. The quiet and evocative neighborhood, with its dreamlike and esoteric references, is the setting for a plot that, after surprising the reader from the very first lines, will leave him grappling with a breathtaking ending. “Those strange girls” won the 2014 Perseide Award.
