In un’opera scritta da un frate milanese del Trecento, Galvano Fiamma, si nasconde una breve menzione di una terra chiamata Marckalada, situata a ovest della Groenlandia.

È una notizia sensazionale: la prima menzione del continente americano nell’area mediterranea, un secolo e mezzo prima del viaggio di Colombo.

Perché raccontare la strage di piazza Fontana? Roba di un’altra epoca e di un altro mondo e sulla quale già si è detto tanto. Perché è la madre di tutte le stragi e di una stagione di sangue e misteri ed è matrigna del terrorismo rosso. Perché ha segnato ed anche cambiato la storia del nostro Paese.
