Excellent condition.
Ada Negri was an Italian poet and writer. She is also remembered for being the first and only woman to be admitted to the Academy of Italy.
[...] The following year (1918) Orazioni was published, a collection of odes to the homeland: the war years had transformed civil passion into patriotism, accompanied by a rapprochement with Mussolini's positions.
The main string of his poetry was now feelings and, as he got older, memory: in 1919, the same year his mother Vittoria died,[1] a new collection of poems was born based on a new sentimental experience, Il libro di Mara, an unusual collection for the Catholic and conservative society of that time. Two years later, in 1921, the year of his daughter Bianca's wedding, it was the turn of Stella mattutina, a successful autobiographical novel.
In 1926 and 1927 Ada Negri was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was later awarded to Grazia Deledda. During these years she spent several months in Pavia, a city to which she remained very attached, often staying at Palazzo Cornazzani, where Ugo Foscolo and Albert Einstein had already lived.
In 1931 the author was awarded the Mussolini Prize for her career; these were the years in which Benito Mussolini still used the relationships born in his socialist period. The prize consecrated Ada Negri as an intellectual of the regime, so much so that in 1940 she was the first woman member of the Academy of Italy.
