Ciao Morte: Secrets of the Mafia is a deep dive into the hidden machinery of power, violence, and shadow networks that have shaped world history behind the scenes. From the opium-fueled expansion of British imperialists to the rise of Chinese Triads, from the Nizari Assassins of Alamut to the iron-willed military orders of medieval Christendom, this book explores how clandestine groups have influenced nations, toppled dynasties, and rewritten the fate of millions.

Drawing on historical narratives spanning continents and centuries, each chapter uncovers a world where commerce, crime, faith, and ambition collide. These are stories of empires built on addiction, rebellions forged in secrecy, rulers undone by blades in the night, and orders of knights who became both healers and warriors.

Rich in detail and grounded in extensive research, Ciao Morte offers an accessible and compelling portrait of history’s most notorious underground forces. It’s a journey through the darker corridors of human ambition, where power is taken, never granted.
