Lions of Sicily. The Decline of an Empire

A sweeping family saga about the Florios, whose story spans over 150 years and intertwines with the ups and downs of Sicily.

Starting with the spice trade in a small shop, the Florios build their empire. They own wineries, steamships, tuna fishing, homes, jewelry, and cars.

But it's not enough to reach the top; one must also stay there.

Inácio tries to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfathers, but he is more seduced by noisy parties, socializing with friends, and girls, many girls. He lavishes his wife with expensive jewelry after each affair, makes one mistake after another in business, and at first does not notice how pieces of the powerful empire begin to break off…

This is a continuation of the novel "Lions of Sicily. The Saga of the Florios," but thanks to the author's presentation, the second part can be perceived as an independent work.
