«Una scandalosa giovinezza» is the novel by Alberto Bevilacqua, published by Rizzoli in 1980 in paperback, with 245 pages, in Italian.
The novel follows Zelia Grossi, a female figure born in the rural environments of the Po, whose life spans several decades of Italian history, from the early 20th century to the Abyssinian War. The narrative combines harshness and tenderness in portraying a memorable character and the people who inhabit the banks of the great river, in a fresco that extends from Parma and the Po Delta to the sands of Africa.
The subtitle of this edition is «con una antologia di giudizi». The book includes a table of contents with eleven chapters and a final anthology of critical judgments. The work was first published in 1978; the present BUR edition is from July 1980.
For readers of contemporary Italian fiction interested in complex female characters and the social and historical portrait of the 20th century.
Alberto Bevilacqua was an Italian writer and filmmaker. Leonardo Sciascia, an Italian writer and politician, who read Bevilacqua's first collection of stories, The Dust on the Grass (1955), was impressed and published it. Mario Colombi Guidotti, responsible for the literary supplement of the Journal of Parma, began to publish his stories in the early 1950s.
