Maria e i giorni

Inspired by autobiographical memories, this film is a portrait of a unique woman whom the director had known since childhood, someone she greatly admired. Maria Limitone, better known to the farming community as "Maria di Capriati," moves from Naples to Apulia every summer, where she manages a rural estate.

"Her weak social position, which made her vulnerable to malice and gossip, did not embitter her life. With her personality and strong spirit, she asserted herself before everyone. She expressed herself with the happiness of a woman who refuses to be held back. For those times, this was an exceptional victory." (Cecilia Mangini)
