AOX Natalia, By Wanda Muggia

**ITALIAN ONLY**

In simple and spontaneous Italian prose, Wanda Muggia narrates the most important episodes in her mother’s life, a woman whom she describes as exceptional, a point of reference for the entire family, someone who with an exemplary spirit of sacrifice, patience, and strength endured difficulties and suffering. Natalia is a personal story, but it is also marked by historical events such as the Great War that made Natalia a widow and the tragedy of the Istrian exodus that forced her to abandon Pola. A story, as the Author states, the book is meant “to leave a testimony of my mother, a courageous woman, who was able to face life always hoping for better times, teaching me and my brothers to try everything even when we might fail.” A reading that goes beyond the meaning of words and leads to the roots of filial sentiment.
