Marie-Ange La Rosa has released her debut book, “The Hostages of Mussolini. A True Story of the Italians of Tunis.” The work recounts a largely forgotten chapter of history concerning the experiences of Italians living in Tunisia during World War II. The book details the story of Italians who were held as hostages by Mussolini's regime as a retaliatory measure against Italy’s Axis allies. La Rosa's research sheds light on the plight of this community, offering a new perspective on the complexities of the war and its impact on civilian populations. It’s a poignant account that aims to restore a lost narrative within Italian-Tunisian history, reviving the memory of a challenging period. Kapitalis first reported on the book’s release, highlighting its contribution to historical understanding.
