GÉRARD ROERO DI CORTANZE – GLI AMANTI DI COYOACÁN
Friday November 18th 2022, Corso Como 10
Fondazione Sozzani hosts GérardRoero di Cortanze who presents Gli Amanti di Coyoacan (The Lovers of Coyoacan), a book published by Neri Pozza.
After nine years of marriage, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are in crisis. Between mutual infidelities and profound misunderstandings, unhappiness reigns supreme in the Casa Azul. But then an event comes along to shake up their difficult daily life: Leon Trotsky, a Bolshevik revolutionary from the very beginning and father of the Red Army, has taken refuge in Mexico, pursued by the assassins of the “Georgian peasant.” He has obtained political asylum for himself and his wife Natalia, and Rivera, who has always been his admirer, has offered to host them. The revolutionary, a strict idealist, is a hunted man, finished. Frida wants to test her seductive arts. A consuming passion explodes between the two, she in her thirties and he twice her age, lived amid subterfuge and jealousy, evading the surveillance of thirty guards protecting Stalin’s enemy. It is a passion that Frida will remember as one of the “best things” in her life, which will also translate into one of the most fruitful phases of her painting. For Trotsky, it will be his last love, before a sensational and atrocious end that will be remembered more than his life. A novel that plunges the reader into the intellectual and political effervescence of the late 1930s, following the radiant path of a woman driven by an insatiable desire to love and live.
