NATALE BARCA

HISTORIAN ESSAYIST

It is not necessary to turn to historical fiction when you want to learn about history but don’t feel like studying; history is a novel in and of itself. My books are born from the studies I have done in Italy and abroad at the most internationally renowned institutions for humanistic studies. Through them, one can begin a voyage into the ancient world, entering into the public and private lives of individual protagonists, sometimes in the most intimate ways.
