Inspired by the social ideals of both his best friend and his mentor, he plans to implement changes that would improve the lives of his fellow villagers. . His efforts are thwarted by an ambitious and greedy adversary who falsely accuses him of attempted murder and has him convicted during a corrupt trial. Escaping prison, Beppo meets with Giuseppe Musolino, the famous Calabrian bandit, and discovers the difference between vendetta revenge and justice. Author Biography Frank P. Riga was born in Buffalo, New York, to immigrant parents. Now retired, he taught in the English Department of Canisius College where he also directed the Graduate Scholarship Office. His area of specialty was nineteenth century British literature, but he also taught courses in Shakespeare and childrens literature. His articles appear in several scholarly journals and include essays on Shakespeare, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Jean Rhys and others. His library reference book, The Index to the London Magazine, appeared in 1977. A few of his poems and short fictions have been published in several periodicals and collections. He is particularly pleased with his articles on Christmas traditions, which include Santa Clause, La Befana, the Magi, and the crche. When he began writing Beppo, his intention was to write a fictive biography of the real-life vedettist, Giuseppe Musolino, but by the end of the first ten pages of composition, the novel took over and told him the story he was to write.
