About the Book

SEME DI METALLOQuesto romanzo racconta la storia della nascita della più grande fabbrica di alluminio italiana, la Montecatini, e del folle Isidoro che la preannunciò. Dice anche della lotta tra i contadini e gli operai innescata dalla nascita dello stabilimento.LA CRITICA AL ROMANZO

Noir d'autore, con scrittura netta e precisa come il taglio di un bisturi, il romanzo di Barozzi mantiene un'andatura costante che per contrasto aumenta nel lettore un disagio che si fa asfissia fino a un finale rocambolesco e nervoso, rapido e parzialmente atteso, che riprende la bellezza di certi passi messianici disseminati nel libro. (Laura Caroniti, Lankelot.eu)

Un racconto alla David Lynch che può essere accompagnato dalle musiche di Badalamenti e Antony and the Johnson. (L'Arena di Verona)

Un noir duro e teso [...]. Con linguaggio secco e efficace racconta non solo di delitti e caccia all'uomo, di misteri e sospetti, ma rimette in gioco quel mondo del lavoro che portò a Mori e nel Trentino la Montecatini. (Trentino, Alto Adige, Corriere delle Alpi)

Amara è la storia del protagonista [...]; duro è l'ambiente, ruvidi i personaggi, pregni di una violenza che pervade l'esistente. (Silvia Bruno, L'Adige)

Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 2006, e salutato dalla critica con recensioni molto positive ('Un noir alla Lynch" titolava ad esempio il quotidiano Arena di Verona), Seme di metallo è stato riproposto nella versione ebook in occasione del trentennale della chiusura dello stabilimento Montecatini (1983-2013).
Vi si narrano le vicende del vagabondo Isidoro Cavada che nel 1918 arriva in Trentino, a Mori, un borgo agricolo situato tra il bosco e le acque del fiume Adige. Gli abitanti vivono esistenze dure, scandite dai ritmi del lavoro nei campi, della cura del grano, del tabacco, dei bachi da seta, della messa, delle discussioni alla taverna e l'arrivo di questo forestiero li inquieta: sconosciuto, non frequenta la chiesa, non lavora, non aiuta nessuno. Compare e scompare quasi fosse un'ombra, un fantasma. Non parla, salvo quando predice una maledizione che i paesani non comprendono. Per tutti è un ladruncolo svitato da cui star alla larga.
Ma nel 1927, quando allo stagno viene trovato il cadavere stuprato di una ragazza del luogo, gli abitanti del paese sanno con esattezza ciò che devono fare. Inizia così una caccia all'uomo, una specie di missione biblica, il cui epilogo farà emergere il lato violento, meschino e carico di squallidi segreti di quel mondo così distante dalla contemporanea realtà cittadina.
A intreccio, raccontate per flash di memoria, la nascita, la vita e la morte della fabbrica, la maledizione che Isidoro aveva preannunciato.
