ABSTRACT
In post-World War II Italy, the impulse to renew the system was as strong as the guilt of a nation that had failed to stop the raise of Fascism. The drawing room had a warm wooden floor, and their grandma Delia made it into the children's room, their special space to experiment and grow. Delia's father had moved there since the separation, and bought the apartment next to his own for his daughter's family. Delia managed to ooze some of her solar style on to the place-even though by the time you and your dad moved in it had been lost. Delia's father had moved there since the separation, and bought the apartment next to his own for his daughter's family. Their great-aunt Irene refused, and so the offer came to your grandma Delia. These women became part of our family, accepting the rules mother created, and providing Delia with a longed-for female companionship at home.
