L’abito amato di Susanna Tamaro
Attualmente esposto, l’abito amato della scrittrice Susanna Tamaro. Un cappotto con una lunga storia alle spalle, che ancora oggi Susanna Tamaro guarda con una certa venerazione, quando apre il suo armadio, quasi con il timore di rovinarlo indossandolo per quanto rappresenta la speranza di vedere i propri sogni realizzati. “Vivevo già da anni a Roma,…
