For years, Italian-American Vito Cellini kept his mouth shut to protect himself and his family. Now in his 90s, he wants tell his story. Born in New York, raised in Italy, Vito “Tutuc” Cellini was forced to join the fascist Italian army in WW2, then deserted to fight with communist Partisans in Yugoslavia. Later he became an undercover agent for Allied Intelligence.
Trusted friend to a Mafia consiglieri and respected by the New York mob… he was hired to negotiate with deadly organized crime bosses in Naples… was embroiled in an assassination that led to the Sandanista uprising in Nicaragua… acted as bodyguard to a merciless Mexican drug lord. A self-taught mechanic and gunsmith with 19 patents, one of his inventions was financed by a high-profile Texas billionaire and adopted by US Special Forces.
“Cellini Freedom Fighter” earned a Starred Review and was named a “Best Indie Book of 2018” by Kirkus Reviews.
