In “Nero come il Terrore” vi racconteremo storie incredibili di intricati complotti ed efferati omicidi, sanguinose battaglie e vittime innocenti, a comporre un ritratto più vicino a noi di quanto vorremmo ammettere.

Collodi vuole bene ai suoi personaggi, al suo protagonista, ma allo stesso tempo li prende in giro, li sfotte, li avvolge in una luce ironica"
