“When life caused me pain, there was always the same beach ready to comfort me” – the beach in Forte dei Marmi. “Vestivamo alla marinara” is an autobiographical novel by Susanna Agnelli that recounts her childhood in Forte dei Marmi during World War II.
It’s a poignant narrative that portrays Italy’s struggles, liberation, and renewal. A literary classic of the 1970s, it is just as captivating to read now as it was then.
