SHORT LIST FINALIST IN THE WILLIAM FAULKNER-WILLIAM WISDOM WRITING COMPETITION A Song for Bellafortuna is an inspirational Italian Historical Fiction novel concerning a young manâ‚¬s desire to free his Sicilian village from the domination of one familyâ‚¬s long reign. For years, the beautiful, yet secluded, hilltop village of Bellafortuna, Sicily, was a great producer of wine and olive oil. The entire village prospered. However, after the arrival of the Vasaio family, production dwindles and the villagers soon find themselves in crushing debt to the Vasaios. Only one family in the village remains outside the control of the Vasaios, but the reason haunts Antonio Sanguinetti every day of his life. Antonio is determined to erase this legacy by offering financial and emotional support to his fellow villagers. He introduces them to the choral song from Verdiâ‚¬s opera, Nabucco, which becomes the rallying cry for the villagers and offers them hope for a better life. When Antonioâ‚¬s only son, Giuseppe, discovers his familyâ‚¬s past, he becomes determined to take on the Vasaios and remove them from power. Led by the young Giuseppe, a plan is hatched that could result in either complete freedom for the villagers, or if it fails, forever solidifying the Vasaiosâ‚¬ control.
