Anna Amorosi

A great portrait of a free woman amidst all the pitfalls of existence and the turmoil of an era. A journey across Italy and the Mediterranean, starting from Naples, between 1960 and 1970. The dolce vita in Alberto Moravia's Rome, the bloody attacks by neo-fascists, the maneuvers of occult powers, along the secret thread of the passionate friendship experienced by Anna and Giannatale, the narrator... And above all the adventure of the atypical couple formed by the wealthy Count Roberto Clerici Venosa and his wife, Anna Amorosi, a simple and life-wounded woman, but with an intelligence, a beauty, a boldness, a sensuality that would make kings fall at her feet... A navigation by sight and among pleasures, from island to island, from Elsa Morante's Procida to Caravaggio's Malta, the amorous and tragic existence of a woman who for ten years caused a global scandal, risking her own life, until her sudden assassination. Based on real and historical facts documented with precision, Anna Amorosi draws on the best Neapolitan chronicles by its author.
