Don Camillo and The Prodigal Son by Giovanni Guareschi

Don Camillo was created by the Italian writer and journalist Giovannino Guareschi (1908-68), and is based on the historical Roman Catholic priest, WW II partisan and detainee of the concentration camps of Dachau and Mauthausen, Don Camillo Valota. Guareschi's stories centre around Don Camillo and his antagonist Peppone the communist mayor of the town. The stories are set in what Guareschi refers to as a 'small world' and are an excellent representation of what rural Italy was like after the second world war. Most of the Don Camillo stories came out in the weekly magazine Candido, founded by Guareschi with Giovanni Mosca. and were later in eight books, only the first three of which were published when Guareschi was still alive.
