📝 Description: La progenie di Scilla: ( Edizione 2026)

Oreste Joshua Niccoli presents a study of mysterious entities lurking beneath the northern Calabrian coast. The narrative begins with an account from an elder in San Nicola Arcella, revealing details about unknown forms that have long remained concealed beneath the sea surface. These creatures range from the Arcomagno to those near Dino Island, Stromboli, Vulcano, Tropea, and Scilla. The text weaves together disparate historical threads to explain these secrets. It references meteorite impacts during Babylonian times and examines Valerio Nigris, a Franciscan monk from Paola. Niccoli uses these elements to deepen the understanding of mysteries resting in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The work addresses the existence of life within our universe, framing it as the most enigmatic secret among them. Readers interested in regional folklore, obscure historical figures, and speculative natural history will find this volume relevant. Those seeking straightforward factual biology or conventional horror fiction may find the approach too abstract or esoteric.
