Synopsis "Valentino (in Spanish)"

Pese a que sus padres estan convencidos de que Valentino se convertira en un gran hombre, sus hermanas creen que no es mas que un joven vanidoso, egoista y frivolo, mas preocupado por sus conquistas que por sus estudios de medicina. El repentino compromiso de Valentino con una mujer rica pero poco agraciada y diez años mayor acabara con los sueños de sus padres, quienes, escandalizados ante tan desafortunada eleccion, sospechan de la novia. Con su caracteristica mordacidad y su portentosa agudeza psicologica, Natalia Ginzburg explora en Valentino las expectativas sociales y de genero, las diferencias de clase, la riqueza o el matrimonio como carceles que sofocan los deseos de sus personajes y convierten hasta las ilusiones mas modestas en puras quimeras.

Natalia Ginzburg (1916–1991) was a prominent Italian writer whose work spans novels, essays, plays, and translation. Born in Palermo and raised in Turin, she intensely experienced the effects of fascism and World War II, experiences that deeply marked her literature. Her style is characterized by a sober and precise prose, focused on everyday life and family relationships. Among her most recognized works are Family Lexicon (1963), which won the prestigious Strega Prize, The Little Virtues (1962), Dear Michael (1973), The City and the House (1984), and All Our Yesterdays (1952). She also ventured into theater with pieces like I Married for Joy (1966)

Ginzburg was a politically committed figure; she participated in the anti-fascist resistance and, later, was a deputy for the Italian Communist Party. Her work has influenced subsequent generations for its intimate and honest look at the domestic as a reflection of the universal. In addition to her work as a writer, she worked at the Einaudi publishing house, where she collaborated with figures like Cesare Pavese. Her legacy remains alive, especially for her ability to transform the everyday into literature of high ethical and aesthetic value.
