Quando l'America aveva un altro nome

A century and a half before Christopher Columbus's voyage, the existence of America was already known in Italy. The proof lies in an ancient lost manuscript, rediscovered and now preserved in an unknown location. An extraordinary discovery that reveals an unusual and mysterious Middle Ages. A work written by a 14th-century Milanese friar, Galvano Fiamma, contains a brief mention of a land called Marckalada, located west of Greenland. Sailors traveling the North Sea described it as a land rich in trees and animals, home to large buildings and giants. This was sensational news: the first mention of the American continent in the Mediterranean, a century and a half before Columbus's voyage. But who is Galvano Fiamma, and where did he get this information? What was really known in Italy about the regions beyond the ocean? The result is a research as fascinating as a spy story, an international plot full of twists and turns.
