The legendary Frederick II of Hohenstaufen. The adjective added to the title of the “atypical biography” of the Second Wind of Swabia penned by Bianca Tragni actually corresponds to a paradoxically veristic choice. Frederick, the father of two fatherlands – the Italian and the German one – Frederick the “new Christ”, Frederick the avenger. Perhaps what he was is not as true as rather what we imagine.
