A large-scale family saga about Florio, whose history spans more than 150 years and is intertwined with the ups and downs of Sicily.

Starting with a spice shop, the Florios found their empire. They own wineries, steamships, a tuna fishery, houses, jewelry, cars. But it is not enough to reach the top, you still need to stay there. Ignazio tries to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfathers, but he is more attracted to noisy parties, socializing with friends and girls, lots of girls. He showers his wife with expensive jewelry after each betrayal, makes one mistake after another in business and at first does not notice how pieces begin to break off from the powerful empire ...

This is a continuation of the novel "Lions of Sicily. The Florio Saga", but thanks to the author's presentation, the second part can be perceived as an independent work.

This is a novel-allusion to "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
This is a novel about love and hate, about emotional dependence and betrayal.
This is a novel about family and how a family can fall apart.
