Reviews

'Unfinished Business is a thorough, well-researched, and well-executed study... Renga's insightful and scrupulous analyses will surely generate plenty of new debates in Mafia studies, as well as in film, cultural studies and number of other disciplines.' -- Lara Santoro Journal of Modern Italian Studies , February 2015 'There's no doubt that Renga's volume is essential reading for scholars of both Mafia films and Italian cinema more widely.' -- Pasquale Iannone University of Toronto Quarterly vol 84:03:2015
