• Sommario/riassunto: The Mungellos were Italian-American children of Vesuvius. Moving to flee the threats of the Black Hand, their lives became no less turbulent. Throughout the generations, the Mungello's love affairs projected them up the ladder of American success as they damned one another to their deaths. This is a true story.
