The autobiography of Italy's most popular film star.
Geneva, a few years ago. Two days before Christmas, Sophia decorates the Christmas tree and cooks dinner. Everything is ready for the pre-Christmas family gathering. While she is changing clothes in anticipation of the joyful event, she comes across a box containing her many memories, notes, letters and photographs. These, now collected and rewritten in her own hand, page by page, in fifteen chapters guide the reader through the actress's extremely eventful life, through numerous ups and downs, through moments of success, triumph, happiness, but also sadness and humiliation - from the sketch she prepared as a very young girl about Carlo Ponti (Ponti was her life partner for 56 years), to the portrait given to her by her grandchildren; or from her memories of Cary Grant, Giorgio Armani, Charlie Chaplin, Vittorio De Sica and many other famous names in world cinema - and of course to Naples, as she always emphasizes, "her" city.
The book reveals through the narrative her extraordinary life journey, the journey of a woman who firmly marked the time and era in which she was active and in which she lives today, and who is the only Italian film star loved by the whole world. Certainly an extraordinary testimony of a highly valued and respected woman who, with her unsurpassed beauty, was always close to people's hearts.
