E non scappare mai

Who was Miriam Mafai, really?
Journalist, writer, Italian politician — but also a wife, mother, and daughter of two artists: the painter Mario Mafai and the sculptor Antonietta Raphaël.
In the book E non scappare mai (And Never Run Away), columnist and correspondent Annalisa Cuzzocrea (from Repubblica) offers us a perspective on the woman and the professional, drawing from unpublished letters and notebooks.
It interests us because the narrative also includes her parents, grappling with the challenges of gaining recognition in the art market of the 1950s and 1960s in Italy and France.
