The Incredible Life of Anna Akhmatova. Us and Anna Akhmatova

What can an Italian tell us about the greatest Russian poetess? Anna Akhmatova is the one who, as Joseph Brodsky said, "with just the tone of her voice or a turn of her head turned you into a Homo sapiens." A woman who survived two world wars and became the most popular voice of Russia in difficult times for the country. She suffered like souls that, even when surrendering, do not give up. She never stopped writing, even when her poems could only be passed from mouth to mouth. In the end, she managed to become what she wanted — the greatest poetess of her time. Paolo Nori, a renowned Italian writer, author of numerous translations from Russian, and a professor at the University of Milan, will tell the story of this truly amazing woman.
