THE BOOK "THALIA, THE RETURN OF THE WIND"
In the lucumonia of Vulci, Alphonius, the ceramist who learned in Hellas to produce excellent vases, runs a flourishing workshop. His curiosity drives him to the northern territories to discover the secrets of the Etruscan goldsmiths, when, at the same time, Thalia, the woman he loves, lives beyond the Great Sea a terrible tragedy.
Her groans reach the land Rasenna and convince Alphonius to return to Hellas to take the young Greek and make her his life partner.
Twenty-five centuries later, a gold button, twin of the one given to Thalia, appears at the Cultural Center of Rome at the conference on Etruscan Gold. At the end of the conference, Lucrezia, the archaeologist who gave the main talk, unexpectedly receives the excavation diary of the most important tomb of Etruria. While she relives the discovery of the Francois tomb, a group of grave robbers, not far away, locates the tomb of the warrior and brings to light the immense treasures, destined, inexorably, to the clandestine market.
The bond between Alphonius and Thalia is consolidated in a sumptuous marriage, but the events of life evolve in unimaginable ways. The same happens for the warrior's weapons, which will have a different destination than expected. Only a helmet returns to oblivion...
