The Secret of Altamura: Nazi Crimes, Italian Treasure

by Dick Rosano

Overview

Following the success of Tuscan Blood and Hunting Truffles, Dick Rosano has published The Secret of Altamura: Nazi Crimes, Italian Treasure. It is 1943 and the Nazis control large swaths of Italy. Colonel Anselm Bernhardt devotes his attention to stealing Italian art - and violating Italian women - but there is one great treasure that he covets most. In modern times, his grandson is sworn to make amends for Bernhardt's crimes, but he is bitten by the same temptation and averts his focus on reparation to search for the mysterious and historically vital treasure in southern Italy, a secret that if revealed could alter the course of history.

Based on historical events, The Secret of Altamura will take you back to the cloud of terror that hung over wartime Italy and invite you to explore the secrets and treasures that were hidden from the Nazi invaders. See more at www.DickRosanoBooks.com

About the Author

Dick Rosano has been writing about wine, food, and travel for many years. His long-running columns have appeared in The Washington Post, Tasting Panel Magazine, and Wine Enthusiast and many other nationally distributed publications. His weekly wine-food pairing column first ran in The Washington Post and Wine Enthusiast in print and online, and more recently in The Tasting Panel magazine. His two new novels, Tuscan Blood and Hunting Truffles, have drawn considerable attention from literary circles; an earlier book, Wine Heritage: The Story of Italian-American Vintners, traced the influence of Italians in the American wine industry over the last 300 years.

Mr. Rosano has lectured on wine at the Smithsonian Institution, Johns Hopkins University, and at many conferences around the United States, as well as many years teaching at L'Academie de Cuisine. His travels have taken him to the wine regions of Europe, South America, and the United States.
