UNA CASA DE HIERRO Y DE VIENTO

The story of an extraordinary family and its female protagonists — strong as iron, passionate as the wind, inextricably bound by a red thread that weaves together love and resilience. Nothing remains of the great factory, and Villa Badoni is unrecognizable. Yet for Marta, the family’s last descendant, that grand house remains a place tied to her soul — the stage upon which, for decades, the lives of her sisters have unfolded. Like Laura, the rebellious eldest daughter and lover of freedom, who, after running away to America for love, returns home with a broken heart but an indomitable spirit. Like Piera, a fragile and solitary soul, who can truly express herself only through poetry. And like Adriana, who dedicates her youth to the family business, only to later make a momentous decision. At the center of this all-female microcosm stands he, the patriarch, Giuseppe Riccardo Badoni: the visionary entrepreneur with unbridled ambition, owner of an iron factory in Lecco; the loving father of eleven daughters; the man who has never allowed himself a moment of weakness and who, even so, has entrusted his most intimate secrets to the pages of a diary — the very same diary that is now in Marta’s hands.
