Valeria Parrella talks about her relationship with Naples and her way of writing about it, based on direct observation and listening to people, far from the usual stereotypes. Her writing stems from an "intermediate" point of view, close to everyday reality.

Author Valeria Parrella talks about the connection between her novel Almarina and various locations within Naples: Nisida (a volcanic islet that houses a juvenile detention center) and Bagnoli (a seaside neighborhood of Naples). What emerges is the portrait of an intense and contradictory city, marked by working-class identity, the sea, and the reality of juvenile prison.
