Salvatore: She craved for a passion that would bring Devil himself surrendered on his knees.

“”She craved for a passion that would bring Devil himself surrendered on his knees. “” Salvatore begins in 1559, in a small village on the outskirts of Rome. Greed and the aspiration for an easy life lead Mattia D’Amore to sell her daughter, Vienna, and her gifts, to Emanuelle Valentini, an unscrupulous Lord. The virtue of Vienna ends up corrupted, and in an act of despair, suicide seems the only way out for a ruined Soul. However, Vienna finds herself trapped in a curse that only True Love can break. Vienna is captive in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, where Vittore, an Angel, and the personification of the Devil fight for the possession of her Soul. Hope finally appears in 1750, when Tommaso Lèmmi meets Vienna. However, tormented by the failure of Katelijne’s Love, Tommaso rejects the new torrent of emotions that overwhelm him. Fearful of allowing himself to feel his irrevocable and undeniable Love for Vienna, he continues with his life as a bohemian, seeking an ephemeral love in the body of other women, and guarding himself in vices and memories that keep him away from reality. While she lives her nightmare, tormented by the temptation to surrender her Soul to the Devil, Vienna questions Tommaso about his deepest fears, and makes him inquire about the meaning of Love. She makes him look at concepts like pain, Forgiveness and second chances. Salvatore is nothing more than a powerful reflection on the meaning of Love. More than a novel, it is a work of reflection —- ISBN: 9789898910141
