Description

Relentlessly asking the question Why did my friend Francesca Nobili kill herself in Naples on Good Friday in 1961? this journalist keeps a diary that blurs the line between fact and fiction. Meditations on the beauty of Naples alternate with memories of old conversations as he tries to understand how Nobili, with her fervent belief in human goodness and social progress, could have chosen death over life.
