The Ezzelinos. Lords of War.

Based on well balanced historical researches and on the double narrator game, the novel tells, with detailed particulars and great emotional involvement, the life, the intrigues and the wars of the Ezzelino da Romano dynasty that in between XII and XIII century ruled and tyrannized the Italian region that lays amid Treviso and Mantua.

Through the stories told by the lively memory of an old witch, the most ambiguous among the writers of Ezzelino´s chronicles, Pietro Gerardo, re-tells the story of the devilish Ezzelino III about which every wicked thing was said.

As well said by Prof. Francesco Marroni, literary critic and writer himself, «the author builds an historical novel that fully responds to the characteristics of history and narration. This means that history is bended to the design of a narration that is always absorbing and that is able to create a series of characters that are functionally very interesting, imaginatively vivid but that are however never denying the historical truth of their respective languages».

Giada Trebeschi cultivate since ever he passion for history and acting and it is the love for history and the sensibility learned on stage that seem to allow her to write without overindulgence and obscurity, in a simple and effective way that hits for the psychological accuracy of the characters.

Agreeing with Prof. Clara Mucci, the writing appears «emotional and delicate never falling into sentimentalism never allowing any embroidery or archaism. Simplicity and efficacy go directly to the goal so that the reading takes place all at once, caressing imagination and reality with the same grace and the same deep humanity». The principal characteristics of the novel seem to be delicacy, brightness and a well-thought and ripe levity in a wide, solid and very open plot.

Giovanni Marcadella, in his critic to the novel says that the book is absorbing and awakening in its setting in which the topics of myth and the professional historical researches are very well balanced. It is so that through a riveting and unimpeachable narration, the author carves fascinating pictures of the medieval life both in the countryside and in the power-palaces.

Even telling about the past, this is an extraordinary modern book, not to be missed, for all those that desire to live the romance of history told with intense narrative strength.
