Synopsis "Corazón (in Spanish)"

Corazón es el diario personal de un niño de doce años, Enrico, en el que este anota sus experiencias en una escuela municipal de Turín junto a sus compañeros de clase, con los que experimenta situaciones nuevas y excitantes que le harán madurar emocionalmente. En el diario, Edmondo de Amicis intercala cartas de los padres de Enrico, así como relatos breves de historias ejemplares que se leían en el aula con la intención de conmover a los jóvenes estudiantes y de formarles en los valores familiares, humanos, cívicos y patrióticos, sobre todo, en el contexto de una Italia recientemente unificada. Su emotividad e ingenuidad han hecho de Corazón una de las obras más leídas en todo el mundo, uno de cuyos relatos «De los Apeninos a los Andes» inspiró la exitosa serie de televisión Marco.
