Vale – Paperback

Rome. The narrow streets around Piazza del Popolo, the late nights, the wine, and a city that never quite tells you the truth. And Vale.

Vale is the story of a love that arrives when you least expect it and moves into your head – not into your heart, where love is supposed to live, but into your mind, where you cannot argue with it. Riccardo Bergamini tells it with tenderness, irony and the plain honesty of someone who was there.

A novel about desire and about letting go, about what we ask of the people we love and what love should never ask at all.

Written with the eye of a photographer and the ear of a musician, Vale is the portrait of a woman, of a city, and of a man who could not stop looking.
