Amatissime · Giulia Caminito · Italy (2022)
Giulia Caminito’s Amatissime, published by Giulio Perrone Editore, is a hybrid work of literary essay and memoir centered on five Italian women writers: Elsa Morante, Natalia Ginzburg, Paola Masino, Laudomia Bonanni, and Livia De Stefani.
The book reconstructs aspects of their lives and writing while intertwining them with Caminito’s own reading life, memories, and literary formation. Several reviews also note the presence of Rome as an important cultural and personal setting in the book.
