Code of Portrayal is a story of love, hope, injustice and vengeance. The book is based on a true story which began in Italy in the 1920s in the region of ancient Italica now known as Calabria. The cruelty of a ruling family of the time promoted social injustice and gave birth to the various mafia clans of Southern Italy.
