Description
Giacomo Foscari grew up in Venice in the 1930s and '40s, witnessing the rise and fall of Fascism in Italy.

Here is another great manga for those who like slice of life stories. If you've already read Yamazaki-sensei's Thermae Romae, this isn't like it all, except for the art style. Very calm and subdued on the surface, there are all kinds of things happening if you take a closer look, some of them quite tragic and painful. I can't wait for the next volume.
Incidentally, I'm reading the French edition and it reads from left to right. They don't normally flip their manga and this is the first instance I've found, but unlike most flips this reads very smoothly (I usually have difficulty with those editions.)
