Савва Иванович Мамонтов (1841–1918) — крупный русский промышленник, предприниматель и меценат, наследник преуспевающей купеческой династии. Еще в юности увлеченность Саввы театром настораживала отца будущего покровителя искусств, крупного винного откупщика Ивана Федоровича Мамонтова: вместо обучения делу Савва находил куда больше удовольствия в том, чтобы "музыкантить, петь и кувыркаться в драматическом обществе". Спустя век трудно даже вообразить, по какому пути направилось бы русское искусство, если бы не был создан знаменитый Абрамцевский кружок и не были предприняты иные славные начинания Мамонтова.

"Dovevo fare i conti prima o poi con Nerone. Lo avevo già affrontato di lato, semplificandolo nel male, similmente a come si tende sempre più a fare semplificandolo nel bene", confessa Andrea Carandini. Chi si è occupato di Roma antica non può evitare di confrontarsi con quell’uragano che è stato Nerone. Per interpretare una personalità del passato romano fuori misura, come quella di Nerone, occorre con una parte di sé entrare nella sua logica, mentre con l’altra avversarla, evitando la soluzione facile e deludente del tiranno democratico e individuando i modelli a cui s’ispirava.

Attilâ, Peyami Safa'nın yegâne tarihî romanıdır. Peyami Safa bu romanıyla, Attilâ gibi büyük bir Türk cihangirinin devrine ve kişiliğine ilk defa bir Türk gözüyle bakmış, Batı dünyasının “geçtiği yerde ot bitmez” diye karaladığı bir devlet adamı ve kumandanını Türk gözüyle tasvir etmiştir.

Çelik iradeli, demir disiplinli bu Türk hakanının yalnızca bir devlet adamı ve kumandan olarak değil, şahsî ilişkilerde yumuşak huylu.
