Book desription: A. Mondadori, Milano: 1935 -- A. XIII First edition, Italian text, 83 pages, 8vo, 20.5cm, copy number 000090, publisher's embossed copyright stamp on title page, white paper covers are still in the original publisher's glassine dust wrapper, publisher's stamp and number are on title page. This copy is inscribed to Giuseppe Prezzolini, signed "Sibilla," and dated "Roma, gennaio 1935 XIII." Her seventh published book, and her second volume of poetry, SÍ ALLA TERRA dates from 1928-1934. Under the nom-de-plume of Sibilla Aleramo, Rina Pierangeli Faccio (1876-1960) was the first Italian woman to write about the vulnerability of Italian women. Raped at sixteen by one of her father's business associates, she fought and freed herself from a loveless marriage. After her separation from her husband and the death of her son, she produced a body of literary work in the form of novels, poetry, and newspaper articles. Even though she signed Benedetto Croce's Anti-Fascist Manifesto, she did become a fascist for a time. In the 1940's however, she became active in the Resistance, and after World War II, she joined the CPI. This is an interesting association copy, dedicated "A Prezzolini con l'antica amicizia, Sibilla," as Prezzolini was the discoverer and friend of Mussolini, but he never became a fascist, spending the years of World War II in New York. This copy is unopened: Prezzolini did not read this copy, thus making an interesting footnote to the complicated world of Fascist Era Italian politics, when writers and publishers often did things in order to eat. This is a fine, bright, fresh, unopened copy, one printed on very good paper. The glassine dust wrapper is slightly soiled at the top.
