«Cronache di poveri amanti» is the novel by Vasco Pratolini, published by Mondadori in paperback (494 pages, in Italian).
Set on the Via del Corno in Florence between 1925 and 1926, the novel follows the daily life of a community of neighbors —tram drivers, barbers, charcoal burners— during the early years of the fascist regime. Amid loves, struggles and hopes, Pratolini composes a choral portrait of life in a turbulent political and social context.
The novel was originally published in 1947 and won the Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in 1952. This edition, in the Classici Moderni collection from Oscar Mondadori, dates from 2000.
