Inspiration for the Amazon Prime series BANG BANG BABY Marisa
Merico, the daughter of one of Italy's most notorious Mafia
Godfathers, was dazzled by her father, Emilio DiGiovine. To her he
was all powerful, sophisticated and loving; to the rest of the
world he was staggeringly ruthless. Marisa knew her father would do
anything for her, but she hadn't expected just how much he would
ask in return. Born to an English mother, Marisa turned her back on
her quiet life in Blackpool to join her charming father, Emilio
DiGiovine, who had spent years trying to tempt her back to Italy.
Arriving in Milan, Marisa had no idea she was returning to the
heart of one of the most notorious drugs, arms and money laundering
empires in the world. At first her father shielded her from the
family operations and Marisa was overwhelmed by the attention and
gifts he lavished on her. But soon the temptation of a new recruit
was too great and Marisa was drawn ever deeper into the family's
sinister and brutal regime, witnessing things she was too scared to
believe. The day she eloped with her father's chief henchman was
the day her father decided she was ready to be initiated into the
true nature of the family business. Suddenly Marisa saw there was
no limit to what he would expect her to do for him. She knew it was
wrong, she knew she had to get out, but she had no idea how she
could break the sacred Coda Nostra - and survive. Marisa's
extraordinarily story is the most powerful portrayal of a Mafia
family to emerge in recent years. It's the perfect balance of
shocking violence, dangerous betrayals and enduring love.
