The novel "La Bella Estate" Einaudi" by Cesare Paves was published in 1949. It is now 1938, and we are in Turin. Ginia is sixteen years old, and the future seems to offer endless possibilities. But now, like everyone else, she has been eclipsed by the Second World War. Like everyone else, Ginia wanted to fall in love and found her own man in a young painter. Thanks to her guide Amelia, she discovered the unrestrained art world of Turin. Amelia is a sensitive and provocative young woman, not older than Ginia, but very different from anyone she has ever met. She is prepared to shake many of Ginia's beliefs. Between a sense of responsibility and a perplexing desire to discover, Ginia was overwhelmed by her reluctance to reveal her name. In her beautiful summer, she finally succumbed to her feelings and celebrated her courage to be herself.
