Boffo da Massa" by Giovanni Polini is no ordinary historical tale. It's a tribute to the Fermano region and a gift to the people of Carassai, given in a time - 1888, when few had the ability to read and access historical information.

This tale plunges readers into the 14th century, a tumultuous period for Fermano (in the Marche Region of Italy), a land rich in events and battles. The protagonist, Boffo, is a valiant but flawed warrior, a negative character who embodies the tyrants of Fermano. Through this figure, Polini aligns with the pre-unification literary movement, using his story as a vehicle to paraphrase the political ferment of his time.

Polini's gift to his contemporaries in Carassai was not merely a story, but a key to a rich cultural and historical heritage that might have otherwise remained hidden.
