TIBERIO MITRI Press kit INGLESE

The time is ripe to take the big plunge, but Trieste is still very much on the
outskirts in show business terms, it’s not Rome, or Milan. The people who can
make the difference are elsewhere.
The most famous person in Trieste is…. Tiberio Mitri.
Fulvia and Tiberio meet, almost by chance, they are, after all, the most
representative figures in town. They are handsome, young and desirable. They
both have a radiant future ahead of them… at least in the eyes of the multitude
of destitute who populate the town, and, if the truth be known, in the eyes of a
vast majority of Italians.
At first they don’t fancy each other much, they find each other mutually
unpleasant, Tiberio is too much of a braggart and too sure of himself, and she is
too stuck up.
But someone in the press sees the chance of making a few bucks. The boxer
and the pageant girl. Too handsome not to get together, the love affair between
the two of them is too perfect for it not to happen.
A love born under the spotlight, two Trieste kids with all eyes in Italy trained on
them.
Having overcome the first difficult moments Tiberio and Flavia start going out,
they fancy each other, they fall in love. Their secret meeting is “snapped up” by
a photographer and this is the beginning of all the gossip that will surround their
relationship.
They love each other wildly, when they’re together it’s one big firework, in every
way. Their passion is overwhelming, the sexual attraction always at its peak, off
the scale even.
They quarrel over everything, then make love to make up, then quarrel some
more before doing it some more and then quarrelling again.
The two of them have only two alternatives: either they break apart or they
marry.
And they get married.
The newlyweds however have little money.
Fame is not always synonymous with a healthy bank account. Tiberio’s fights
still can’t hold down huge prize money and for Fulvia, for the time being, the film
business only consists in deciding which movie house to attend.
For this reason the two of them decide to move in with Fulvia’s parents.
Awaiting better times this will be their love nest, despite Fulvia’s mother’s heavy
handed negative influence.
For her Tiberio is nothing more than a boxer and a bad lot generally, someone
with no career prospects, someone bound to end up in the gutter, stunned and
dazed by all the punches
Sure, Tiberio is famous right now but what about in times to come? What about
when he’ll fall from favour?
She wanted something better for her daughter, someone who could make sure
she wanted for nothing, who could support her like a true lady while she sought
to make her mark in cinema.
Love and sexual attraction are not to be considered as useful features of a
successful marriage.
While Fulvia, who is ambitious but no icicle, wants more from love.
