La Superba is a monument for a city like no other: Genoa, La Superba (the proud one). This novel is more than just a story about a shockingly real and labyrinthine city; it is a tragic love story.

La Superba explores the fantasy of a better life elsewhere, unraveling how people—from renowned writers and fallen gentlemen to poor Senegalese drifters and wandering prostitutes—lose themselves in these dreams.

This grandiose, multi-voiced novel is about writing a grandiose, multi-voiced novel. It delves deeply into the city, love, and the fate of the searching human, making it a captivating read for anyone who dreams of a different life.
