Meeting in Positano By Goliarda Sapienza Other Press: May 11, 2021 Paperback original, 256 pages, $15.99 Goliarda Sapienza may be virtually unknown to Americans, but in Italy she was a famous stage and screen actress in the 1940s and 1950s who turned to writing autobiographical works and fiction in her early 40s. Sapienza worked with some of Italy’s most famous filmmakers and became part of the intellectual elite. She was shaped in part by her experiences during World War II. In 1943, at age 19, she took a break from her acting studies to join an anti-fascist brigade, and she remained an outspoken political activist throughout her career.
This sounds wonderful. I love stories about women's friendships, and for some reason, the 1950s. Plus, Italy! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
