Anita da Napoli : A Poignant Memoir

"I found my diary and wanted to share a little part of my life."

-Anita DiBenedetto Materazzo (1916-1999)

"A courageous and exemplary woman, whose life was transformed by chasing love. Aunt Anita was generous and elegant with a rapid intelligence. The ocean divided us physically but not from within the heart. The sister of my father had gone away too soon! She was a treasure-chest of DiBenedetto secrets. I would like to turn her story into a movie. This is my debt to her."

-Ida DiBenedetto

"My dear Aunt Anita. Not only was she beautiful, her Italian accent captured your attention and warmed your heart. She cherished my cousin Linda. I will never forget sweet Aunt Anita and the kindness she showed me growing up."

-Joan Ritter
