Notte Romana by Valerio Ferrara

In un quartiere borghese di Roma, Paolo è al bar con i suoi amici, come ogni sera. Quando sta per andare a casa, arrivano due ragazzi pericolosi. Uno in particolare punta Paolo: è Gioacchino, sono tre mesi che cerca Paolo e finalmente l’ha trovato. Una storia d’amore impossibile tra un ragazzo borghese, una ragazza dell’estrema periferia e il suo fidanzato, un amore nato d’estate e finito in una calda notte d’inverno.

In an upper-class neighborhood of Rome, Paolo is having a drink with his friends, as per usual. When he decides to go home, he is approached by two dodgy-looking guys. Gioacchino, one of the two, is immediately very aggressive towards Paolo. He has been looking for him for the last three months, and now he has finally found him. An impossible love triangle between an upper-class boy, a girl from the suburbs and her boyfriend, a love story that began in the summer days and ended on a warm winter night.
