My BookNettuno non poteva ignorare

  • Author: Giovanni Galatolo
  • Edithor: Europa Edizioni
  • Distribution: Messaggerie Libri S.p.A.
  • First Edition: May 2024

The work is the author’s autobiographical novel, authentically describing his life as a seafaring professional, from the first time he set foot aboard a ship, as part of a real crew, to the present day, when he is president of a company operating in the field of maritime safety, with a particular focus on preventing intentional unlawful acts against ships, ports, and port facilities. The autobiographical novel is full of true maritime stories, sometimes brutal, such as the rescue of the sailors of the Master Michael.
