Allegra

Allegra would describe her family as “people from the countryside”, but these four words hide a much trickier existence. Her father is an alcoholic and her mother is addicted to psychoactive medicines; Her older sister Luna had to carry the whole family on her shoulders, resulting in her being constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. And then, to cap it all, her older brother Libero disappeared into thin air when she was only three, triggering a snowball effect for Allegra’s still wealthy but yet problematic family.
Now eighteen and a senior high school student, Allegra slaloms through the ups and downs of her age drinking a glass of wine after another, much like her friends, her own family (which owns a wine shop), and apparently everyone else in Orvieto. Never-ending summer days follow wild nights, up until Libero abruptly returns, sharing his secrets and presence only with his little sister.
