Title

La carezza divina: romanzo [The Divine Caress: a Novel]. Milano: Casa ed. Sonzogno (Alberto Matarelli), 1939-XVII.

Description

The special interest of this work is that it provides an autobiographical glimpse of Pallavicini, hidden behind the character Giorgio Albani. It provides a closeup and intimate portrayal of the "irresolute dualism of the children of the second generation," who in the final pages, "become temporarily appeased, thanks to the apparition of a hero of art (Mascagni) and of a dramaturgic hero of the new Italy," none other than Mussolini, who is "forging a new Italy" (Durante, Marazzi).

Note the fascist year of publication following the standard common era year.
