Lions of Sicily. The Sunset of the Empire

A sweeping family saga about the Florios, whose story spans over 150 years and is intertwined with the rise and fall of Sicily. Starting with spice trading in a small shop, the Florios build their empire. They own wineries, steamships,... tuna fishing operations, houses, jewelry, and cars. But it is not enough to reach the top; one must also stay there. Ignazio tries to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfathers, but he is more drawn to noisy parties, socializing with friends, and girls, lots of girls. He gifts his wife expensive jewelry after each affair, makes one mistake after another in business, and at first does not notice how pieces begin to break off from the powerful empire... 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.
