L'amore e la gloria - La giovane Deledda (2024)
Grazia Deledda's artistic character was formed in the twelve years between 1888 and 1900. The film recounts this development, from the time she published her first story, "Sangue Sardo," in the magazine "L'ultima Moda," at the age of seventeen, to her move to Rome, the desired destination of her youthful dreams. The events and incidents of this period, recounted in her posthumous autobiographical book, Cosima, can also be found in the extensive correspondence Deledda exchanged with many people, primarily men, with whom she almost always established a dynamic of seduction, with whom she sometimes ended up falling in love, and who, in some cases, fell in love with her. Virtual loves without ever having met in person, but which alienated the girl's desire for escape and made her dream of love. Deledda conveys her early amorous turmoil, passions, and disappointments in her debut stories, with a raw and mannered style. She translates her thoughts from the language she usually uses at home, Logodurese, into Italian, with considerable difficulty.. Her education was limited to the fourth grade, and she was primarily self-taught. However, she was sustained by great determination and a vivid imagination, aided by the novels she found at home and managed to obtain. With great willpower, she overcame the obstacles of a conventional family situation, which saw the publication of her early writings as a source of embarrassment in the small community of Nuoro at the time. She avidly absorbed the tales the servants told on long winter evenings around the fire and intensely experienced the wild ruggedness of the nature surrounding Nuoro, internalizing its spirit. These were the sources from which her fervent imagination drew to write her stories and her first novels, particularly La via del male, which reflected her upbringing in the Barbagia region. By now quite well-known, she fell madly in love, and only through correspondence, with a Sardinian literary critic living in Rome, Stanis Manca, and suffered humiliation when, after coming to Nuoro to meet her, he called her mediocre, criticizing her literary aspirations.With her determination, she transforms this disappointment into strength, transforming Stanis Manca from a potential lover into an adversary to whom she must prove her worth. With the publication of her first youthful novels, her literary value is gradually recognized both in Sardinia and beyond. The film ends when, in 1900, she meets Palmiro Madesani, an obscure civil servant who, in her eyes, has the great merit of being able to take her to Rome where, as she longs, she can participate in the celebration of life.
