Marco Pannella wrapped in a cloud of smoke. Marco Pannella with a hollow face, in his third month of hunger strike. Marco Pannella gagged, or in handcuffs. Marco Pannella about-face. Marco Pannella giving away smoke in the square.
Irregular, provocative, unique. Few people have managed to impose their image like the leader of the Radicals. He was the pop star of our politics for 60 years, during which he never stopped fighting for those who had no voice and contributing to the progress of this country. Winning fundamental rights such as divorce and abortion, introducing issues such as euthanasia, the legalization of drugs and the rights of prisoners into the public debate.
This book is an attempt to give the right place in our History to a man who profoundly changed Italy and all of us. An idealist without an ideal and without heirs, so far ahead that not everyone has understood him even today.
