«Viva il re!» is the political essay by Marco Travaglio on Giorgio Napolitano, published by Chiarelettere in paperback (627 pages, in Italian).
The work is not a biography but a counter-chronicle of Giorgio Napolitano, the first president of the Italian Republic re-elected for a second term. It reviews his time at the Quirinale and his earlier career, and denounces the contradictions, silences and omissions that, according to Travaglio, turned the Republic into a monarchy, a taboo subject in Italy.
The book belongs to the collection «I protagonisti dell'antipolitica». This first edition was published in Milan in 2013.
It is intended for readers of political non-fiction seeking a critical review of Giorgio Napolitano's role in the Italian presidency.
