«Verde agua» is the autobiographical account by Marisa Madieri, published by Editorial Minúscula in paperback (207 pages, in Spanish).
Marisa Madieri narrates the exodus of Italians from Fiume, a city that passed to Croatia in 1947, through her childhood memories. She alternates tragic and comic episodes, with figures such as her grandmother Quarantotto, and life in the Silos of Trieste among other refugees. Precise writing that moves between the memory of the past and the uncertainty of the future.
The work belongs to the Paisajes narrados collection (no. 2), with a translation by Valeria Bergalli and an afterword by Claudio Magris. The Italian original, «Verde acqua», dates from 1987.
A read for those interested in autobiographies, Italian literature and twentieth-century historical memory.
