Book Synopsis:
In Alcanterini, an Italian village now forgotten by time, life flows unchanged, anchored to religion and centuries-old traditions. Here, Angelo, the young caretaker of the town's cemetery, leads a double life: by day, he deals with flowers, soil, and graves; by night, he becomes the gatekeeper to a world where the boundaries between the real and the supernatural fades.
Angelo is an innovator, a technology enthusiast who, almost in jest, will stage séances, challenging Death herself. These sessions, where participants believe they are communicating with their loved ones, will actually be meticulously orchestrated by Angelo, who will use technology to project images and voices in imitation of the dead. By doing so, Angelo will gather 12 disciples taking after the stories told on Jesus Christ in the New Testament of the Bible.
The story takes a turn with the encounter of a mysterious and captivating figure Angelo sees surrounded by butterflies in Alcanterini's cemetery. An angel? A demon? Or the Angel of Death herself, descended on Earth to accept Angelo's challenge?
