After a long, complex experience in fascinating Ethiopia, Guglielmo Massaja was welcomed backto his homeland as a true missionary icon. After his death, however, with increased Italian interest in Eat Africa, he was also subjected to a political reworking process, with an emphasis on his alleged role as a proponent of national colonial expansionism in the Red Sea area. Thanks to a reconstruction founded on extensive documentation, Forno's volume finally casts light on many aspects of the actions of the Piedmontese Cardinal during his troubled African mission, tracing the crucial moments of a s tory that have so far been almost entirely neglected by the scientific and historic research community.
