Life

edit

She was an Arbëresh from Pallagorio, a settlement near Crotone, in Calabria,[4] southern Italy on 11 May 1934.[5] She published her first poetry in a volume called Pallagorio (published by Arti Grafiche Pedanesi, Rome) in 1964. Fifteen years after she died (13 September 1981), her husband and sons published a collection of her poetry together with a photo album. In October 1996, Momenti di un profilo meridionale ("Moments of a southern profile") was published post-mortum in Florence by publishing house "Parretti Grafiche".[6] She worked also in the field of archaeology, mostly on the terrain of her native area, and performed a research on the etymology of her town Pallagorio.[2] She wrote poetry both in Italian and Arbëresh.[5]
