Like Passing Waves
Novel

In a Genoa unaware of the imminent collapse of the Polcevera Viaduct, the lives of its inhabitants unfold with an air of apparent normalcy. Among them are Dario, who is planning a vacation in Switzerland with his daughter; Sandy, torn between a job necessary to fund her studies and the challenges of caring for her depressed mother; Luca, who dreams of a job in Germany; Marisa, grappling with a burdensome past and the health of her beloved cat; and Dante, perpetually in search of a perfection that seems to elude him.

Five lives, connected only in part, that on August 14th will be forced to confront an event destined to profoundly shake their certainties.
