Rome bookshop sparks debate by refusing to sell Giorgia Meloni memoir
13 May, 2021
Fratelli d Italia to distribute Meloni book in school near bookshop.
The decision by a Rome book seller not to stock the memoir of Giorgia Meloni, the leader of right-wing Italian party Fratelli d Italia (FdL), has attracted both applause and criticism in recent days. I am an independent bookseller and I won t be selling this book, said Alessandra Laterza, owner of Le Torri, the only bookstore in Tor Bella Monaca, a disadvantaged Roman suburb synonymous with crime.
The book,
Io sono Giorgia, sees the author open up about her childhood growing up in Garbatella, the loss of her father at a young age, and her joy of becoming a mother, alongside her political views and the story of her rise to the top of FdL.
