The Duplicitous Life of Nada Peretti
A Fragmented Story, from the Archives of Men
"If, a century from now some idler rummaging through the back room of a library should come across this little book, in whatever state it's survived, and read so many names gone dead to him and to his time, swept into the dark of the past, he will picture them wearing the faces my adjectives gave them."
Adone Nosari, La Saletta d'Aragno (1928)
I am painting the face of journalist Nada Peretti, my great-grandfather's sister, with my adjectives. On this website you can learn more about her unconventional life, and her contested death, bringing her back to life right alongside me.
