He graduated from classical high school and then enrolled in the Faculty of Letters.

Only out of respect for the death of his father does he win that competition in the Army, becoming a very unusual soldier. He is an intellectual Piedmontese, he loves books, classical music and, equally by chance, he finds himself in the south from northern Italy: a Savoyard who ends up in Bari in the early 90s. A real, violent city, where the Apulian mafia is establishing itself: a local crime that wants to make a leap in quality.”

What kind of “method” is Fenoglio’s? «It consists in his ability to free himself from the trap of the ego, to question his own beliefs. Very rational, he is however a psychic, he is capable of guessing, even from a simple perfume, the person in front of him. And it comes by redeeming the ethics of the police.”
