Summary/Abstract: Violence is nowadays more and more present not only in wars and conflicts, but also in society; omnipresent across gender and generations in everyday people’s lives, violence seems to acquire new features and expressions and, moreover, from a structural dimension, becomes part of about common-sense daily character life of most ordinary people. The present study shows the results of an enquiry carried out with semi-structured interviews. The answers point at normalization and ambivalence of the phenomenon in which the power of both partners and from one to the other is pivotal.
