IL TEMPO DEI SENNA
Ayrton Senna: a name that instantly echoes with speed, bravery, and unmatched talent. But what is the true story behind the champion's myth? How deeply did the choices of his ancestors shape the soul of a global icon?
Based on original, newly discovered documents, Il tempo dei Senna by Giacinto Pipitone is an extraordinary and moving journey through time that pays homage to the legendary driver's vibrant Italian roots.
It all begins at the end of the 19th century when Giovanna Magro, Ayrton's great-grandmother, makes a heartbreaking yet incredibly brave decision: to leave behind the sun-drenched landscapes of her native Siculiana (Sicily), her youthful dreams, and her first loves, to board the dreaded immigrant ship "Matteo Bruzzo" in search of a new life in Brazil.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world and the bitter struggles between peasants and landowners, an epic tale of hope, doubts, and unbreakable values unfolds. These are the very traits that, a century later, would vividly resurface in the fierce determination and charisma of Ayrton himself.
A powerful and evocative novel that revolves around one monumental question: is destiny pre-written, or are we the architects of our own future? Because, as this family's generational saga teaches us, "I Magro non credono al destino".
264 pages. Text in Italian.
