The new book by ERNESTO GRANESE

---

AN ITALIAN STORY

My name is Ernesto Granese. The book you are about to read is about my life and the history of my family, from 1910 to present day.
 
It contains a few historical inaccuracies and some made up stories. However, it is a genuine and passionate attempt to tell facts and stories that have never been told nor published in either Italian or English.
 
My story starts in Eboli, a small town in Southern Italy situated in the delightful Parco Naturale del Cilento, an area of outstanding natural beauty; and ends in Lewes, a charming town in the South East of England where I have now been living since 1997.
 
This is my first attempt at writing in English. Therefore my work is anything but perfect !
 
While you may not find great literature in these pages you will hopefully be able to read many compelling, unique stories. So, hang in there!

A REVIEW BY J. A. KENCH, Editor of BRITALIANS Magazine.
 
Ernesto Granese has spent the last 40 odd years of his life between Italy and the UK.
 
He and his family have witnessed the difficult after-war years of Italy, its rebirth, the years of terrorism, its subsequent political turmoil and economic decline.
 
Here in the UK he has been the first to launch a successful children’s magazine and to campaign for school democracy within English schools in the South East.
 
He has also started an active and successful Italian community group in Brighton.
 
He has worked for several Italian publications here in the UK between 1996 and 2006, and launched the first Italian language magazine in Brighton and in the South East of England.
 
His interests range from international politics, economics; journalism; education; music (he was amidst the first in the mid-'70s to promote blues in Italy as a DJ in a radio station in Milan); to history, chess and even table-football!
 
He devoted the entire book to his life in Britain, from his arrival in 1977 to date. In it, he also acutely expresses his views on a number of topics, ranging from the political and economic situation in Italy and in the UK, and Brexit in particular.
 
The result is a passionate and intense account of facts and events which make this a very interesting book to read.

​Wholeheartedly recommended! ...
