La Ciociara es una conmovedora historia de Alberto Moravia que narra la vida de Cesira, una tendera romana viuda, y su hija Rosetta, una adolescente ingenua y de gran belleza. Cuando el ejército alemán se prepara para ocupar Roma, Cesira decide huir al sur con Rosetta, a su provincia natal de Ciociara. Durante nueve meses, ambas mujeres soportan hambre, frío y miseria mientras esperan la llegada de las fuerzas aliadas. Sin embargo, la liberación trae consigo una tragedia inesperada: en su camino a casa, son atacadas y Rosetta es brutalmente violada por soldados marroquíes aliados, un acto de violencia que la lleva a una vida de prostitución. Moravia ofrece un retrato íntimo de la angustia y la destrucción causadas por la guerra, tanto en el frente como en la retaguardia.
Alberto Pincherle, known by his pseudonym Alberto Moravia, was an Italian novelist and journalist. His novels explored matters of modern sexuality, social alienation and existentialism. Moravia is best known for his debut novel Gli indifferenti and for the anti-fascist novel Il conformista, the basis for the film The Conformist (1970) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Other novels of his adapted for the cinema are Agostino, filmed with the same title by Mauro Bolognini in 1962; Il disprezzo, filmed by Jean-Luc Godard as Le Mépris ; La noia (Boredom), filmed with that title by Damiano Damiani in 1963 and released in the US as The Empty Canvas in 1964 and La ciociara, filmed by Vittorio De Sica as Two Women (1960). Cédric Kahn's L'Ennui (1998) is another version of La noia.
