Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chinnici literally invented the anti-mafia pool system (pool = shared cases to prevent single-target assassination), making this the origin story of modern Italian justice.
The title comes from a traditional Sicilian blessing for the dead; Caterina Chinnici heard it at her father's funeral and built her entire memoir around its impossible gentleness.
