THE SECRET PRICE OF HISTORY is a tale-in the present and the past-about the selfless and the greedy. An enigmatic  treasure hunt marred by violence over the centuries is the link between a modern–day detective story  concerning Angie Cebrelli, a young American TV weather girl, and the gripping political and social upheaval of the second half of the 1800s as faced by  Eleonora Serlupi, a rebellious Roman woman (Angie’s  ancestor) and her two best friends, Sandor and Goffredo, part of the idealistic generation who fought  for liberty and country in the Italian Risorgimento and the American Civil War.
In this website we would like to share with you something more about the amazing historical figures who make their appearance in the part of our novel set in the 1800s. We were both born with a 'historical spoon in our mouth' as it were. Gayle has family ties both to Gettysburg and to Italy, while Paolo is of Piedmontese origin and the descendant of an Italian Guard in Napoleon's army.
