Valeria Parrella recounts her deep and complex bond with Naples, a city that is all about language, identity, and memory. Through Almarina, a Naples that is 'wonderful and terrible' emerges, but also a place of freedom, growth, and hope.

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.

Valeria Parrella talks about her intense and contradictory bond with Naples and the neighborhood she lives in. The full-time innovative Donna Assunta school overlooks the sea, but faces Nisida, the juvenile detention center. Naples, she says, is not a city you can just live in and ignore, and has become for her an inexhaustible source of literary inspiration.

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.
