IL PROCESSO DI VERONA | I EDIZ. 1967 | GIAN FRANCO VENE'

This 1967 edition of Il processo di Verona, curated by Gian Franco Venè, offers a compelling historical non-fiction narrative based on original documents, chronicles, and testimonies from the notorious Verona trial held in January 1944. The materials, compiled immediately after WWII by Domenico Mayer, are meticulously annotated and contextualized by Venè more than twenty years later, providing both primary source authenticity and a historiographical perspective. The book reconstructs the tense proceedings—including Galeazzo Ciano’s trial and execution—delivering a vivid and critical examination of one of the most dramatic episodes in Fascist Italy. Its accessibility lies in its documentary rigor, sober prose, and editorial clarity, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers exploring Italian wartime history.
