Editorial: Tektime

Sinopsis

A book that narrates several facts that have never been made clear, which took place at the end of the Second World War between Genoa and the mountains of Bargagli. They include the illicit trafficking of meat on the black market, several murders which have never been never solved and the disappearance of a treasure during the final liberation of Genoa in 1945. All of this will enable you rediscover and relive those historical moments.

As the Second World War, was coming to an end, several facts and mysteries never completely clarified took place between Genoa and the nearby mountains of Bargagli, including black market trafficking  which was rife back then, plus some homicides and massacres because of the disappearance of a treasure that the Nazi-Fascists had with them and had abandoned on the Ligurian mountains.

What happened at the time intrigued much of Italy, so much so that several stories originated about what had happened around Genoa and Bargagli following murders and mysteries that continued even after the war.

Written as a mix of an essay and an historical novel, the result is a reconstruction of those events until the surrender in April 1945 of the Nazi-Fascist troops, and a treasure of many millions of lire being left behind, as well as a huge amount of paper money and molds from the mint ready to print others, which mysteriously disappeared in the woods around, during the days of surrender.
