In the wake of a massive corruption scandal called "Tangentopoli", Italy faces shrugging off a thousand year tradition of political corruption. The rigid party politics for four decades was shattered by corruption and the end of communism. When communism collapsed, the Italian State collapsed with it. Matt Frei explores how Tangentopoli came to be built--and along the way discovers what makes Italians Italian. He has captured and recounted the ineffable qualities that make Italy and her people what they are, with a riveting account of eccentric characters and improbable events, all of them true. And it is an outstanding account of what happens when a people and their government part company.
