La historia real del homicidio que conmocionó Italia. Un retrato despiadado del lado oscuro de Roma

«Colosal y perturbadora, con mimbres de Truman Capote y Emmanuel Carrère».
Daniel Verdú, El País

En marzo de 2016, en un apartamento situado a las afueras de Roma, dos jóvenes de buena familia se pasaron varios días de fiesta, poniéndose hasta arriba de cocaína, pastillas y alcohol. Decidieron invitar a alguien y tras llamar a varios amigos que no podían o no contestaban, dieron con Luca Varani, un chico al que apenas conocían. Le ofrecieron drogas y dinero a cambio de sexo. Se divirtieron hasta que empezaron a torturarle y terminaron asesinándolo a cuchillazos y golpes de martillo. Tenía 23 años, era hijo de una familia humilde de la periferia, un buen chaval que se buscaba la vida como podía. Nadie entendió por qué lo hicieron, no hubo respuestas para tanto horror. Desde la cárcel uno de los asesinos dijo que «querían saber que se sentía al matar a alguien». Tenían 28 y 29 años: Manuel Foffo, proveniente de una familia de comerciantes, y Marco Prato, un conocido relaciones públicas de la noche gay romana, hijo de un profesor universitario.
El escritor Nicola Lagioia se obsesionó con el caso. Acababa de recibir el Premio Strega por su anterior novela, el premio más importante de Italia, y dedicó cuatro años de su vida a esta historia. Habló con todos los implicados, con los amigos y familiares de los tres chicos, accedió a la investigación y al juicio y llegó a cartearse con uno de los culpables. Se sumergió en lo más oscuro de la noche romana y se adentró en la inaccesible burguesía romana. El resultado es una crónica literaria mayúscula: una investigación sobre la naturaleza humana bajo el silencio de las calles vacías de la ciudad eterna.
«En La ciudad de los vivos está el temblor de lo que sucede y de lo que no sucede, de lo que llega sin aviso y ya es irreparable y no termina nunca».
Antonio Muñoz Molina, Babelia

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The true story of the murder that shocked Italy. A ruthless portrait of Rome's dark side.

"Colossal and disturbing, with vines of Truman Capote and Emmanuel Carrère."
Daniel Verdú, El País

In March 2016, in an apartment on the outskirts of Rome, two young men from a good family spent several days partying, getting pumped full of cocaine, pills and alcohol. They decided to invite someone over and after calling several friends who could not or did not answer, they found Luca Varani, a boy they hardly knew. They offered him drugs and money in exchange for sex. They had fun until they began to torture him and ended up murdering him with knives and hammer blows. He was 23 years old, he was the son of a humble family on the outskirts, a good kid who did the best he could. No one understood why they did it, there were no answers to such horror. From prison one of the murderers said that they "wanted to know what it felt like when killing someone." They were 28 and 29 years old: Manuel Foffo, from a family of merchants, and Marco Prato, a well-known in public relations of the Roman gay night scene, son of a university professor.

Writer Nicola Lagioia became obsessed with the case. He had just received the Strega Prize for his previous novel, the highest award in Italy, and he dedicated four years of his life to this story. He spoke with all those involved, with the friends and relatives of the three boys, got access to the investigation and the trial and came to correspond with one of the culprits. He plunged into the darkest Roman night and entered the inaccessible Roman bourgeoisie. The result is a capital literary chronicle: an investigation into human nature under the silence of the empty streets of the Eternal City.

"In The City of the Living there is the earthquake of what happens and what does not happen, of what comes without warning and is now irreparable and never ends."
Antonio Muñoz Molina, Babelia

Excellent device, see my use case in the review.
Color: Grey
I got the hub in two days ago. I plugged it in to a uni-directional HDMI cable (I have used these for years from Monoprice.com) from the hub to the TV and the PD port into the charging block. Charging started but the iPad Pro screen was NOT showing on the TV. I switched in a regular HDMI cable from the hub to the TV and it worked. The Monoprice cables have some sort of logic in the cable ends allowing a very thin HDMI cable. I have used these on my TVs at home and when teaching at a senior facility for at least 8 years now. So, something with the unidirectional HDMI cables seems to interfere with this hub but “regular” HDMI cables seem OK. Before buying this hub, I had emailed Anker TS with a question. Anker turned around 3 emails with answers in just over an hour. This is one of the reasons why I have bought quite a lot of Anker products over the years. My use for this is to plug in my iPad Pro to my AVR so that I can stream stuff to my TV while simultaneously charging the iPad at the same time. This works well.

Works great and handles everything.
Color: Black
Works great. I plug in a standalone video camera for meetings, a keyboard & trackball, and monitor with a couple of other slots open, like for a portable CD-ROM/DVD player. One plug into the laptop and everything is connected. Initially, I bought another hub, but that one didn't consistently work. This one does. In a month of heavy use, I've had no issues with it at all.

Helped transfer data from Samsung Galaxy S21 with broken screen.
Color: Black
Helped me transfer data from a Samsung Galaxy S21 with broken screen. Simple put USB C end into phone , grab HDMI cable and plug into hub , then plug HDMI end into a monitor. Then grab a wireless keyboard & mouse and plug dongle into hub. Your phone will output to monitor and you can transfer data via Smart Switch using keyboard & mouse. Will only work if phone is unlocked I found on S21.

Great Slim iPad Case – Secure Fit & Easy to Use
Color: Black, Size: ipad 9th/ 8th/ 7th gen 10.2 inch, Color: Black, Size: ipad 9th/ 8th/ 7th gen 10.2 inch
This is a really nice iPad case and worked perfectly as a replacement for my old one that was falling apart. I have an Apple iPad 9th Generation (10.2 inch), and this case fit perfectly. The cutouts for the camera, volume buttons, power button, and charging port all line up exactly as they should. The iPad snaps into the case easily by gently pressing it into the rounded corners, and once installed it feels very secure with no slipping or falling out. The case is very lightweight also. I also had no issues accessing or using any of the buttons while the case was on. One of my favorite features is the automatic sleep/wake function—closing the cover puts the iPad into sleep mode, which helps save battery life. I chose the black version, and it has a clean, simple look. For the price, I think it’s a great value. Overall, this is a slim, functional, and well-fitting iPad case that I definitely recommend!
