Porfirio Rubirosa – Una Vita Oltre Ogni Limite

Product description

An intense and engaging portrait of Porfirio Rubirosa, an enigmatic and fascinating figure who crossed the twentieth century as the absolute protagonist of a life over the top.

Diplomat, sportsman, man of the world, pilot and seducer, Rubirosa was an unmistakable character for style, charisma and restlessness. This volume recounts its existence with a lucid and passionate gaze, retracing the stages of a parable lived without brakes: from the salons of international high society to car circuits, passing through polo tracks, yachts, luxury hotels and social parties.

Sentimentally linked to the most famous women of his time, capable of dissipating fortunes with lightness and ease, Rubirosa embodied an ideal of absolute freedom, always poised between glamour and self-destruction.

His tragic end, at the wheel of a Ferrari against a tree in the Bois de Boulogne in 1965, sealed his legend.

An existence that has become myth, told here with rhythm, precision and depth.
