[3] The novel has been translated into a number of European languages: the French, Belgian and Canadian French under the title En Italie il n'y a que vrais hommes, published by Dargaud, for the German market under the title Insel der Männer Schreiber und Leser Ed, for the Polish market under the title We Włoszech wszyscy SA mężczyznami Centrala Editions and for the Spanish market with the title En Italia son todos machos, Norma Editorial.

Plot

It tells the story of the confinement of homosexuals during fascist Italy and more precisely the last year of exile (1939–1940), of a group of men to San Domino in the Tremiti Islands archipelago. The story of the protagonist Antonio "Ninella" Angelicola during his confinement is intertwined in a second-floor time set in the late 80s with that of the young documentary filmmaker Rocco. The events recounted in the book and the characters are drawn from true stories and real people. In particular, the story is based on the life of Joseph B., [4] ("Peppinella"), who was also interviewed by his real name in Gabriella Romano's docu-drama, Ricordare.
