\u201cThey are sparks, memories, fragments of Rocco\u2019s life.\u201d Stories that come together to form a single portrait: an exchange of affections between Rocco and his past, between the author and his character, and his master. Above all, they are memories, each one kindled, like the famous madeleines, by the taste of a tramezzino.\nRocco\u2019s first childhood adventure, with Brizio, Furio and Seba: a prank played on a loan shark. The tale of a homeless man in exchange for a couple of bottles of Peroni, in a Trastevere that is still poor, teaching the little gang what a story is worth, beyond questions of truth and falsehood. The schoolteacher\u2019s hollow patriotism and Grandpa Pietro\u2019s sincere patriotism. A young Brizio\u2019s heist, brilliant in its conception but ending in the style of Big Deal on Madonna Street. A trap for Rocco Schiavone, a grotesque mise-en-sc\u00e8ne that lays bare before him the petty cruelties in which he takes pleasure. And the first appearance, in a September Panarea chosen as a sad refuge, of the ghost of Marina, his wife and lifelong companion, now murdered. To this album of the origins of a personal imaginary are added a number of detective stories: cases that bear witness to the making of Deputy Police Chief Schiavone, to his intuition laced with anarchic sarcasm.\nAntonio Manzini dedicates his \u201ctramezzini\u201d to a deep friendship that, together with its warmth, passed on to him a commitment to be carried forward: the magnificent art of storytelling.\n\u201cA clear reference, then \u2014 I would almost say an obvious one for anyone who loved and still loves Camilleri. This book is dedicated to him, because some have arancini and others tramezzini; some walk to the rhythm of a sad waltz, and some still believe in the deepest kind of friendship and honour it in the secrecy of memory.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
