The analysis of this legend, which finds echo beyond the artistic life of the actress, brings to light certain relations between the apprenti ceship of young women born in families of actors and the creation of «romantic» characters.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
