Synopsis
"The Fall is a moving portrait of a relationship with a child and a place. It is a rare book: by turns heartbreaking, angry and lyrical". (Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare With Amber Eyes). Step 1: Tito has cerebral palsy. Step 2: I blame Tito's cerebral palsy on Pietro Lombardo. Join Diogo Mainardi and his son Tito in a journey of 424 steps, starting with Tito's disastrous birth in Venice, in Lombardo's Renaissance hospital. It's a journey full of joy and reflection, and an honest exploration of fatherhood. It's a journey that follows the arc of Western culture, from Dante Alighieri, Rembrandt van Rijn and Claude Monet to Marcel Proust, Neil Young and Assassin's Creed, to show how one boy's fate has been shaped by history. Above all, it's a celebration of love and courage, and of the hope and faith we place in our children.

Extrait
Tito has cerebral palsy.
I blame Tito’s cerebral palsy on Pietro Lombardo. In 1489, Pietro Lombardo designed the Scuola Grande di San Marco. And it was the Scuola Grande di San Marco designed by Pietro Lombardo that brought about Tito’s cerebral palsy.
On September 30, 2000, my wife and I set off for Venice Hospital in Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Our son would be born that day. My wife’s name: Anna. Our son’s name: yes, that’s right, Tito. When we reached Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, next to the statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni, Anna said: “I’m really worried about the birth.” She had expressed the same fear in previous weeks, because Venice Hospital, now looming before us, was known for its medical errors. I studied its façade for a moment. Venice Hospital moved into the Scuola Grande di San Marco in 1808. The façade, designed by Pietro Lombardo in 1489, became the hospital’s main entrance. I said: “With a façade like that, I could even accept having a deformed child.”
Revue de presse
"The Fall is a mercurial and enriching walk through 'off-script' fatherhood, cerebral palsy, art history and this commonplace mystery, love. The Fall is wise and kind and moving" (David Mitchell)
"The Fall is a moving portrait of a relationship with a child and a place. It is a rare book: by turns heartbreaking, angry and lyrical" (Edmund de Waal)
"A wise and unsentimental description of what it is like to be parent to a child with cerebral palsy―an episodic portrait of a very intimate paternal journey" (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award–winning author of Far From the Tree)
"A poignant, beautiful book, angry and inquiring, lyrical and literate" (Iain Finlayson Saga)
"A remarkable celebration...intensely moving, rational, literate, and an absolute joy to read from start to finish" (John Berendt, New York Times best–selling author of In the Garden of Good and Evil and The City of Fallen Angels)
