1996: The Fenice Theatre burned down in 1996 – this is the story of the tragedy
From the author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, this is a journey to the moment when the Fenice Theatre burned down in 1996. Why did the fire take place? Was the Mafia to blame or the restorers who were working on it?
There are some interesting characters in this book, scandal, corruption and lots more besides.
Now we at the booktrail are suckers for a true story or one based on true fact and there is a lot to learn from this book such as the chaos that reigned as the theatre burned. Such an iconic building that it was fascinating to learn of its history and fate.
The author states that all people and places in this book are real so this is quite some history lesson with a difference!
