The Story
A family caught inside history.
In the mountains south of Rome, twelve brothers come of age as the old order fractures around them. Family, loyalty, faith, hunger, power and survival collide with forces reaching far beyond their village.
The Twelve Brothers begins in Carpineto Romano but belongs to a larger world of consequence: the Papal States, restoration Italy, Rome, Naples, rebellion and the lives of ordinary people forced to endure extraordinary change.
“Epic does not mean bigger scenes. It means a bigger world of consequence.”
