Aurelio Pelle

Cippo 382 alias Ettore Majorana Aurelio Pelle

What happened to the genius physicist whose work contributed to the atomic bomb, and who Fermi, godfather of the atomic age, put up there with Newton and Galilei? Why did he disappear in 1938? Did he give up science in fear of the bomb? Was it suicide, was he "disappeared" by the Fascists, the Nazis, was he shot, did he work on the German and/or Russian nuclear programs, go to South America under a false name, retire to a monastery, become a dog-man in Sicily, or was he abducted by aliens? In one of the biggest disappearance mysteries of all time, Aurelio Pelle believes to have finally found the answer, hiding in plain sight! An evocative story of a past Italy and a present cover-up. For anyone interested in history, physics and the race for the bomb, magical Calabrian folk traditions, Kafkaesque bureaucracy, Italy and Italians.
