The Colonel Alessandro Medini

The presence of the "Arma dei Carabinieri" in the entire trilogy has a special significance. On the one hand, I wanted to balance the novels, all three of which undoubtedly have a strong esoteric connotation, with characters endowed instead with a much more concrete vision of reality, and linked above all to a universal concept of Law and Justice. On the other, it allowed me to range precisely in the complicated connection and relationship that exists between the concept of Law and that of Justice.

Colonel Alessandro Medini encapsulates these different worlds in himself, but at the same time he is also a keen observer who is not afraid to approach the situations that involve him with different and very personal optics.

A loyal servant of the "Arma," attentive to rules and ethics, he is also, however, one of the closest collaborators, as well as a fraternal friend of William Christopher Thorpe, a policeman in charge of a very restricted as well as mysterious section of Interpol.
