THE FANI

1921:Professor Giorgio Fani dies under mysterious circumstances.
He had recently discovered what would, in our days, be called the "Higgs boson."
The world, however, would never come to know about it, because events forced the professor to conceal his greatest invention: a "machine" capable of making the particle visible.
What knowledge does the "God Particle" conceal? And why do so many long to possess it?
1992: Mario, a university student enrolled in physics, discovers that he is the great-grandnephew of the inventor and finds that "machine." However, to make it work, he must recreate-through a secret formula-the primordial plasma, an ionized gas that Nikola Tesla had already obtained in the past.
Meanwhile, the Perpetual Assembly, an evil organization that has long sought to obtain that knowledge, has just come into possession of a copy of the "machine" and is desperately searching for the secret formula.
Mario is forced to flee and go into hiding, continuing his studies in the utmost secrecy.
Over time, he will realize that he is not alone in this battle: many people, starting with his own family, will help him rediscover his innate ingenuity, enabling him-also thanks to the new particle-to achieve his greatest invention in 2025: cold fusion.
In the background of the novel are the war in the former Yugoslavia, the reality of Native Americans living on reservations, and the suggestions surrounding one of the most secretive discoveries in physics: the Med Beds.
The fictionalized description presented includes several scientific hypotheses related to both classical and modern physics, following chronologically the developments that took place from the early 1900s through the 1990s.
