About the book: 2004 / The Diary of an Italian Schoolgirl amazes not so much with shocking frankness, but with the riskiness of experiments. The fifteen-year-old girl combines on equal terms: an experienced passionate woman, Lolita with a sober cynical mind and a naive girl who dreams of a prince. The book has become a real world sensation. In Italy alone, more than 750,000 copies were sold in record time in 2004.
