Valentino Fugitive

By Evelyn Zumaya Floris

Valentino Fugitive is Evelyn Zumaya Floris' deeply personal and meticulously documented account of a two-decade campaign of censorship, gaslighting and targeted harassment waged by a cult-like faction embedded in the world of Rudolph Valentino. Part memoir, part legal archive and part investigative chronicle, this book traces the author's persistent search for truth in the face of organized attempts to silence her research into Valentino, his manager George Ullman and the behind-the-scenes power structures which have long dominated his legacy. Drawing from court records, correspondence and thousands of preserved documents, Floris not only exposes the campaign against her and her late husband Renato Floris, but the broader system of manipulation within a celebrity-collector subculture. At its heart, Valentino Fugitive is also a love story, an elegy for a creative partnership forged through scholarship, resilience and devotion. Both a witness statement and a warning, the book reveals how narratives can be seized, controlled and weaponized and how reclaiming them becomes an act of survival. Unflinching, urgent and fiercely original, Valentino Fugitive stands as the definitive account of the truth they tried to bury.
