Originally published in Italian as \u003cem\u003eStirpe e vergogna\u003c\/em\u003e (winner of the \u003cstrong\u003ePremio Mondello 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e) and in French as \u003cem\u003eMon nom est sans mémoire\u003c\/em\u003e, this is an act of courageous personal and historical excavation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe discovery that her father's birth certificate lists \"Ferruccio Michele Arturo Vittorio \u003cstrong\u003eBenito\u003c\/strong\u003e\" among his given names sends Marzano into the family archive. What she finds dismantles the story she has always told herself: her grandfather Arturo, long described as a royalist patriot, was in fact one of Mussolini's earliest followers, a fascist of the first hour whose political loyalties were subsequently erased from family memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together genealogical research, historical documents, personal letters, and psychoanalytic reflection, Marzano confronts not only her grandfather's complicity but her own family's silence - and Italy's enduring culture of forgetting. Intimate and unflinching, \u003cem\u003eShame Shadows My Name\u003c\/em\u003e is both a daughter's reckoning with a father who cannot speak of the past, and a philosopher's argument that memory is the only antidote to inherited shame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michela Marzano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0645920940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780645920949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gazebo Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.89d","brand":"Michela Marzano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665606512895,"sku":"9780645920949","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14453378-9acd-4109-8785-8b5f7a9dfef4.jpg?v=1792012846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shame-shadows-my-name-michela-marzano-9780645920949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
