A book entitled «The little witch. My dream book."
«I will tell you the true story of a little girl, a witch, a saint, an ineradicable herb» writes Sandra Milo in the book. A dreamy and imaginative autobiography in which the actress, pseudonym of Salvatrice Elena Greco, born in Tunis on 11 March 1933, talks about herself without filters . An unprecedented portrait of herself and the world in which she lived: her poor childhood, her children, her meetings, Federico Fellini, her "imperative love", her professional and existential downfalls.
In the volume the actress, singer and television presenter, among the most well-known faces of Italian cinema, thanks to her participation in films such as "The General of the Rovere", "Adua and her companions", "Ghosts in Rome", "Juliet of the Spirits ” and above all “8½”, awarded with an Oscar, talks about cinema, the relationship with his father, his mother suffering from cancer, his extraordinary power of seduction which hides an intense and poetic soul .
A "dream book" in which there is not only the actress, but also the woman and the mother to whom she gives voice with powerful, hilarious, at times painful, at times moving writing.
What moves the threads of his story is love which is the backdrop to an entire existence: «So I stocked up on it, I always look for it, I keep it alive and brilliant in me, and it is always in love that I find peace, that identifies the meaning of everything."
What emerges is the long life of a woman who was never afraid, who always lived "dragged into the most engaging whirlpools of life".
