Fabrizio and Alessia met at the grocery store at the end...

Ok, I just read somewhere on her that this used to be a soap opera? That explains alot...

I want to know why we never see a scene where Fabrizio tells Alessia that he had an accident and that is why he stood her up? I mean, really, are we to assume that she just thinks he was an ass and stood her up? I mean, if that was me-I would be like, "Hey Fabrizio, how you doing you jerk, where the heck were you that day?" But, no, they don't say a damn thing about it when they met up in the grocery store. It was as if their reignited passion met nothing and dare they not speak of it. At then, at the end phone call, again...no mention of why he never showed up...AAAaghh!!! No one behaves that way...come on! How about, "Sorry honey, I nearly lost my manhood coming to see you that day!"
Or, are we to assume that he did lose his manhood for good and that is why he never told her? There were no clear explanations either way? Fabrizio mentions to his wife that there was a 50% chance of impotence; so, was he?

I think the character of Valentina was brilliantly written because she embodied so much of what I would estimate as the corruption of the soul for what seems so rediculous a reward. I am not really that shocked that she would put up with so much from her "new" boyfriend just to get the "right" kind of connections. Alas, some women have nothing else for them than their beauty and vanity; and when that goes the outside becomes just as ugly as their inside.

Just some of my thoughts...
