About this title

Synopsis

Many years ago, while a child in the magical Region of Calabria, in Southern Italy, I found an ancient coin. Decades later, I sought, and finally found its amazing origins. The investigation for my coin's origins was paralleled by an in-depth search for my ancient Calabrian roots. What I found was a mesmerizing history of horrifying natural catastrophes, invasions by both brutal and civilizing peoples, and other enthralling events that will leave the reader enlightened and amazed.
Michael Caputo Author of, Under A Lion Sun: Days of Joy and Sorrow In Old Calabria.

The journey itself was intriguing but the historical references to the geographic conquests of that area was truly enlightening...Also, and what made the book even more enjoyable, is that you have a very natural gift for writing and expressing your content and that made it easy to want to go back to the book each time to finish it! The book was descriptive, informative and effortless to become engaged in and that makes reading a joyful experience." (Mark. A.)
"I recently read your book, The Coin From Calabria, and I enjoyed it very much.
