Cats, as we know, have many lives. We are fortunate in that they give us companionship, and, in this book, their precious suggestions on how to live a happy and cat-like life.

The eyes of a cat are portals to an enchanted world, hidden behind their velvety eyelashes. Cats have been watching us for centuries, and while we humans struggle to understand the meaning of life, cats seem to have all the answers. Here, finally, our wise and furry companions are ready to share their secrets on how to live an enjoyable and fulfilling life. Vita Felix is a distillation of their instinctual wisdom, rich with advice culled from their many lives in which we see how they are resilient and capable of adapting. As hunters who also happen to be very introspective, as well as great observers, they have a lot to teach us.

They do so beginning with their basic but very important credo: that life is something that happens between naps. A must-read for all cat lovers,　

A young woman, lonely and in love with literature, writes the chronicle of her fight with her father’s death: the two had shared a happy relationship during her childhood, a hard one during her teenage years. But now that the man is dead too many questions are unanswered: who was the young doctor-worker who always sided with the poor, who always had someone to save, who was sentenced to jail for taking part in an armed band? And why did he never tell his daughter about those years? Lawyers, old far-leftwinged militants, archives and trial accounts are voices that make up the portrait of a complex and contradictory man, a witness and protagonist of a complex and contradictory time. In the background, Turin, city of rage, pain, and hope, a backdrop of violence that generated deception and ruins.

The novel of a man, his families and his choices, retold with love and rage.　

Professor Vecce is a historian who has been researching Leonardo da Vinci for many years. When he recently found evidence in the archives that suggested Caterina to be Leonardo’s mother, Professor Vecce felt compelled to tell her story first in a novel because the findings are immense: Caterina was from Circassia, and was brought to Italy by way of the Sea of Azov, the Black Sea, and Constantinople, to Venice, where women from Circassia were brought work on the production of brocade. She was a slave, a woman whose life, possessions, voice, and liberty were taken from her. The author saw so many parallels to our modern-day plight of slaves and international refugees that his desire to allow this woman to be known and to become immediately human in our eyes overcame even his instincts as a historian (nb, his scientific article was published on 30/10/23; his non-fiction title, The Life of Leonardo will be published by Giunti in April 2024.) 　

For many years Professor Carlo Vecce has been researching and recording the life of Leonardo da Vinci. Recently he made a very important discovery regarding the identity of the mother of Leonardo, and in March of 2023 Giunti published his groundbreaking novel, Il sorriso di Caterina, la madre di Leonardo. Now the companion volume -the life of Leonardo told in a non-fiction, biographical format- is available and will be published in early 2024: The Life of Leonardo, Son of Caterina.

Complete with footnotes and bibliography, Professor Vecce’s biography of Leonardo is written in a warm and elegant style, intertwining history and detail, events and artistry, to paint once and for all a complete portrait of a man whom we know so well but whose life nonetheless held many great mysteries.
