The Ghost Of Girolamo Riario – Ivo Ragazzini

The book is a historical novel born from a fact that really happened in 2010 in Italy, when some people told in the chronicles of local newspapers, that they saw a ghost in the town hall of Forlì, who was walking around with part of his head smashed, complaining. They also recounted the strangeness of having seen him hanging outside the wall of that building, near a window on the first floor, as if he was dancing suspended in thin air. But who was that ghost? What was he doing in that place? Why was his head bashed in? Who did he look like that? What was he complaining about? This book tells the story of a man called Girolamo Riario, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV, who was murdered over five centuries ago in the city of Forli, but few or no one seems to remember him.
