«País d'Itàlia» is the novel by Vicenç Villatoro published by Edicions 62 in paperback in 1987 (160 pages, in Catalan).
The work takes its title from a song by Raimon and narrates three encounters of a group of young people (three boys and a girl) who meet on holiday, gather in Barcelona and travel to Italy following Stendhal towards the Charterhouse of Parma. With echoes of Pavese, it is a chronicle of the end of youth that seeks to create a climate rather than verisimilitude.
Novel winner of the Premi Sant Joan 1983, included in the El Cangur collection as number 99.
A read for those interested in contemporary Catalan literature, links with Italy and stories about friendship and the end of youth.
Spanish politician, professor and journalist
