  • "Bedlam ensues at a celebration at the largest home in Rome, Villa Ada. Both famous and infamous seek the limelight and decorum and civilty are abandoned."
  • "Attending a gala at the private home of a real estate magnate, a neurotic author stumbles on the activities of a satanic sect planning to launch itself into infamy by staging an apocalyptic meltdown at the height of the festivities."
  • "In the heart of Rome, the palazzinari Sasa Chiatti organizes a party in his new residence of Villa Ada that will be remembered as the biggest social event in the history of our Republic. Among Bulgarian cooks, cosmetic surgeons, actresses, footballers, tigers, elephants, the big event will see the well-known writer Fabrizio Ciba and the Beast of Abaddon, a ramshackle satanic cult of Oriolo Romano, swallowed up in an adventure where heroes and extras will create a great and unleashed human comedy. The comedy of Ammaniti knows how to seize the vices and few virtues of our time. And the smile that never leaves throughout the reading drown ideals and feelings. And only at the end, float the remains of a civilization fatuous and bulging. Unable to take seriously also his own ruin."

Among them is a neurotically charming author struggling to write his next book and hoping to rejuvenate his reputation. In an unexpected turn of events, he crosses paths with the Wilde Beasts of Abaddon, a satanic sect planning to ruin the evening's fes."
