Italian author known for Savana Padana; associated in reviews with a 'sugarpulp', irreverent, regionally rooted style set in the Veneto/Po Valley.

The reviews praise Matteo Righetto's Savana Padana for its raw, humorous, and vividly regional voice. The novel is described as 'sugarpulp' — an irreverent, pulp-influenced take on crime and local life in the Veneto/Po Valley. Reviewers highlight vivid details, surprising characters, and strong comedic irony.

For:Readers of contemporary Italian pulp/crime fiction and anyone who likes regional, irreverent storytelling rooted in Veneto.

 "Savana Padana" gives you the same effect as a glass of grappa downed in one go after a great dinner with friends in the Euganean Hills, those dinners where you gorge on bigoli in sauce, fried chicken, polenta, and fasoi e sioe. And I’m talking about the first glass of grappa of the evening, the one that goes down pleasantly but burns a little in your throat at the same time. But never mind, it’s always like that with the first glass. Then it passes, and you don’t care.
