The book will be presented by the cultural association “A casa di Lucia” on Saturday 30 September in Caserta, in the village of Briano, precisely in via Catauli 10, at the “Sweet Lounge” of Nunzio Staiano.

The story is set in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century - it tells - twenty-five centuries after Sappho, in a worldly and libertine city, among the lace skirts at the Moulin Rouge and the "vitriolic" cocktails served in the salons, of a poet who defied her time, writing passionate verses about love and women. Her name was Pauline Mary Tarn, better known as Renée Vivien and defined as "Baudelaire's daughter".

Brought back into fashion by 1970s feminism as a pioneer of lesbian singing, she is now considered one of the most authoritative voices of French symbolism.

The President of the association Assunta Aulicino, the founding member Donatella Pasquariello and the journalist Ilenia Liguori will converse with the author. During the meeting, participants will be able to listen to short passages of the work and some verses of the “Muse of Violets”, who left us passionate and stormy words, which continue to resonate over time.
There will be discussions with the writer to better understand the traits and characteristics of a character so atypical for the time in which she lived, deepening the topicality of the themes addressed in the book.

The event was born from a close collaboration with the new group of “Calabresi Capitolini”, thanks to its President Luigi Salvati and his friend Antonio Totaro and that of the Libreria Pacifico of Caserta in the guise of the bookseller friend Achille Callipo.
