Description: [1]The truth about the defeat of Buffalo Bill. Too often the Italian victory of Buffalo Bill, was generally attributed to the Tuscan cowboys. It is a common mistake that does not do justice to the heroic exploits of [Augusto Imperiali][1] March 8, 1890, when the cowboy was able to win the pontine challenge by Colonel Cody. Through careful research conducted with the help of public and private archives and the press of the era, [Mauro Nasi][2] has reconstructed the event in detail, to clarify once and for all the dynamics, while offering the reader an interesting insight on life, customs and traditions of the cowboys on Lazio. This is an ancient craft that, after the reclamation of the Pontine Marshes, has been gradually disappearing. The author has devoted to this fascinating history is also a graphic novel titled "[The man who challenged the stars][3]" [1]: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusto_Imperiali [2]: http://www.mauronasi.it/butteri/ [3]: http://www.mauronasi.it/fumetto/
