‘Unfinished Business is a thorough, well-researched, and well-executed study… Renga’s insightful and scrupulous analyses will surely generate plenty of new debates in Mafia studies, as well as in film, cultural studies and number of other disciplines.’- Lara Santoro (Journal of Modern Italian Studies , February 2015) ‘There’s no doubt that Renga’s volume is essential reading for scholars of both Mafia films and Italian cinema more widely.’- Pasquale Iannone (University of Toronto Quarterly vol 84:03:2015) ‘Renga’s film choices are spot-on, and offer a wide variety of Mafia themed films from the new millennium... It is refreshing to find a scholar so conscious of film, gender, and gender theory.- Ryan Calabretta-Sajder (Italica vol 92:04:2015)
