Liborio: My Great Love
Author: Angelina Napolitano


Wittenoom - A Human Disaster


Mesothelioma - A Ticking Time Bomb


This is a compelling, heart-rending Australian tragedy that should never have happened.


Set against the 1950s backdrop of Wittenoom, the story is all encompassing and brings to light the conspiracy and hidden truth behind this human disaster.


It captures first hand the essence of the battle against the terrible scourge of asbestos and the devastating impact of corporate greed.


The story reveals how love for his sweetheart Angelina led Liborio to Wittenoom: the place where he was betrayed and unwittingly sacrificed his life. 


Charged with emotion, it describes Liborios gut-wrenching legal battle for justice when he discovered he was dying, and his triumph when he succeeded in winning a landmark court decision. 

The story outlines interesting legal and medical aspects of asbestos-related cancer and the black dog of depression.
