Artiste con la valigia. Giacinta Pezzana tra Buenos Aires e Montevideo (1909-1914)
Keywords:
emigrazione femminile, artiste, lettere, teatroAbstract
Si focalizza l’attenzione su una particolare forma di emigrazione femminile, quella di artiste, anche di chiara fama, costrette a intraprendere già in età avanzata estenuanti tournée in America Latina per fronteggiare le loro difficoltà economiche. Una di esse fu Giacinta Pezzana, che nel 1910 si trovò a celebrare le proprie nozze d’oro col teatro non nell’amata Italia ma a Buenos Aires, e a Montevideo aprì un’accademia imparando a recitare in spagnolo.
Women Artists with a Suitcase. Giacinta Pezzana from Buenos Aires to Montevideo (1909-1914)
The essay focuses on a peculiar kind of emigration, that which involves women artists – even famous ones - who are forced to undertake exhausting tournées across Latin America in order to face economic restraint. Particularly, the essay concentrates on Giacinta Pezzana, who, in 1910, celebrated her fifty-year career in Buenos Aires rather than in Italy, while she founded an academy in Montevideo.
