In a literary landscape often saturated with linear and predictable narratives, Francesca Vittoria Reboa emerges with a voice that is simultaneously delicate and commanding. Her novel, 1000 volte la prima volta, is not merely a love story, but a metaphysical exploration of memory, destiny, and emotional resilience.
The novel moves along a fine line: the possibility that an encounter is never truly “new,” but rather a piece of a mosaic already designed by time. Reboa masterfully plays with the concept of emotional déjà-vu, leading the reader to question how much of our present is influenced by what we have lived—or could have lived—in other “versions” of ourselves. Her writing is characterized by a rare introspective lucidity. She does not simply describe feelings; she dissects them, revealing their fragilities and contradictions.
The pacing is tight yet allows room for reflection, enabling the protagonist to evolve before the reader’s eyes, transforming initial bewilderment into a vibrant and mature awareness.
To fully grasp the depth of this work, it must be contextualized within Reboa’s overall production. Although each of her volumes stands on its own, a fil rouge connects her narratives. Compared to her previous works, where the focus was on the discovery of the self and raw inner conflicts, in “Millevolte la prima volta” the author takes a step forward toward a synthesis of opposites. Her stylistic evolution is evident: if in her debut works the prose appeared more instinctive and urgent, here we find Reboa as an architect.
Every word is weighed, and every metaphor is functional in constructing an atmosphere suspended between dreams and tangible reality. The theme of “choice” remains central, but it is articulated here with a new, almost philosophical grace.
The success of this volume is vigorously supported by the Turin-based publishing house, a reality demonstrating extraordinary foresight in promoting Reboa’s talent.
Anticipation is now focused on the Turin International Book Fair, where the publisher and the author will welcome readers to celebrate this literary journey.

“Mille volte la prima volta” undoubtedly represents the highest point of maturity reached by Francesca Vittoria Reboa. It is a book that one does not just read, but inhabits.
The author possesses the rare gift of transforming ink into a mirror: every reader will find within these pages a fragment of their own “first time,”hat sensation of vertigo that precedes the leap into the void of love. The narrative construction is impeccable; the dialogues are natural yet dense with subtext, and the closing of the narrative circle leaves a sense of fulfillment mixed with sweet nostalgia.
We are not facing a simple product of contemporary fiction, but a poetic testimony to the power of waiting and the beauty of rediscovery.
In conclusion, Reboa’s work is a breath of fresh air.
A novel recommended not only to lovers of the genre but to anyone who feels the need to believe that, despite a thousand falls, there is always a “first time” capable of redeeming everything else. A triumph of sensitivity and technique.
