A unique insight into the story of the love between Italian writer
Pirandello, and his muse, actress Marta Abba. Between 1925 and
1936, Luigi Pirandello wrote to the actress Marta Abba some 552
letters, a correspondence that remained enveloped in mystery for
more than half a century. The letters are a splendid record of the
vicissitudes of their decade-long relationship. This book grew out
of the author's reflections on Pirandello's correspondence and
relationship with Marta Abba, as well as his own relationship with
Marta in the course of his research in the 1980s, when he was
invited by Marta to edit Pirandello's letters. Over several months,
the author worked side-by-side with Marta, reading and copying
Piradello's letters in the bank where she kept them. Later, they
would discuss and organize the copies and the rest of the materials
she had at home, which included her own letters to Pirandello. This
book sketches out the story of a modern romance between author and
actress, between an artist and his collaborating muse, between an
older man and a younger woman. It also tackles the subject of
Marta's sexuality, a little-known aspect of her life.
