[Italian] - L'orfana di Venezia
"LA STORIA DIMENTICATA DI ANNA MARIA DELLA PIETÀ LA PIÙ GRANDE VIRTUOSA DEL SUO TEMPO L'ALLIEVA DI VIVALDI CHE INCANTAVA COL SUO VIOLINO UN EMOZIONANTE VIAGGIO NELLA VENEZIA DEL '700 Venezia, 1700. Una musica dolce e lieve si diffonde tra le calli. Qualcuno suona un violino con grazia e maestria... È da un po' che Antonio Vivaldi, il Prete Rosso, insegna presso l'Ospedale della Pietà, uno dei grandi orfanotrofi femminili della città, dove bambine e ragazze senza famiglia vengono istradate alla musica. Una su tutte dimostra un talento straordinario: Anna Maria della Pietà. L'archetto, tra le sue mani, si muove con un virtuosismo che incanta il maestro stesso. Ma Anna Maria sa che non basta il talento: la Storia la scrivono gli uomini, e della sua musica, dello straordinario e non facile rapporto che si creò tra il grande Vivaldi e l'allieva fin troppo brillante, dell'ambizione divorante di una donna fuori dal comune, non è rimasta traccia; così come dello straordinario retroscena della nascita delle Quattro Stagioni. Questo romanzo ricostruisce per la prima volta l'intera vicenda, restituendo ad Anna Maria il suo posto nella storia della musica. contributori LE Elisa Parmigiani"

"Es ist an der Zeit, die Frau kennenzulernen, über die wir in den letzten 300 Jahren hätten sprechen sollen: Dies ist die Geschichte von Anna Maria della Pietà. Venedig, 18. Jahrhundert: Die junge Anna Maria wächst in einem Waisenhaus auf, und als sie zum ersten Mal eine Geige in der Hand hält, verändert sich ihr Leben – denn für Anna ist die Musik mit allen Sinnen erlebbar, sie übertrifft alle Mitschülerinnen an Talent, Ehrgeiz und Willensstärke. Antonio Vivaldi nimmt sie schnell als Schülerin an, und gemeinsam spielen sie nicht nur Musik, sondern beginnen, zu komponieren. Schon bald geht es Anna nicht mehr nur um das bloße Wiedergeben von vorgegebenen Noten – sie will selbst etwas Großes erschaffen und im Rampenlicht stehen, endlich Anerkennung bekommen für ihre Leistungen. Doch diese Art von Ehrgeiz steht ihr als Frau nicht zu, und Vivaldi wird alles tun, um den Ruhm für sich zu behalten ..."
