Marella Caracciolo Chia is the author of Il Giardino di Ninfa and Inside Rome.
"Caracciolo Chia offers us a wonderful portrait not only of the intellectual exchange between an aristocrat and an artist, but also an insight into European society during the First World War and its cultural transition towards modernity: a rare and enjoyable combination." - Independent
"Everyone would like to write a book like this... Marella Caracciolo creates a rich and documented, clear and captivating fresco." - Simone Gambacorta, Abruzzo Cultura
"Caracciolo's words manage to completely transmit the emotions of this reunion (between Umberto Boccioni and Vittoria Colonna)." - Il Quotidiano
