Once-upon-a-time, in the city of Verona, a man and woman met and, inevitably, fell in love. Her: daughter of a wealthy family. Him: son of a modest cotton farmer and horse tamer in Colombia. Like all real-life fairytales, it didn’t last. But resulted in something groundbreaking: VITTY. Things got wild. From being in the circus, to becoming a professional horse rider, and getting a Law degree in London, Vittoria eventually found herself. She writes about unsettled young adults who, due to their shaky past, struggle to stand up for themselves.
