One of my wonderful beta-readers asked about a map of Agrodanno  (Gianna’s fictional village in THE LAST ARIA) and its surroundings, not knowing I had already created one. While writing, I often went to My Maps in Google to construct and consult the map below. While my sister and I toured Emilia Romagna last year, the places I’d mapped felt eerily familiar. My sister had listened to me prattle on about “Gianna’s world” for days. She was as enthralled as I was as we gazed up at majestic Roccamalatina and peered at the slopes of Monte Sole, now bucolic but once the site of such indiscriminate violence. Each icon, marking a place either real or imagined, is representative of a scene within Part One of THE LAST ARIA and marks a small part of Italy’s forgotten front in WWII. Welcome to my world.
