Set in the early 1950s, Lucia
Sartori looks to a bright future. Living in the heart of the Italian section of
New York City as the only girl in a family of boys, she has been admired not
only for her great beauty, but for her situation in life. A “career girl”, she
works successfully as a seamstress in one of the most elite department stores
in the city. The only shadow over her otherwise charmed life is that of
marriage. While the acceptable path for her is to marry a nice Italian boy, she
has other ideas for her future. Going against tradition by dating a non-Italian,
Lucia also has ideas about the role she will play in the commercial world.
Challenging the cultural and social conventions of her time, Lucia dreams of
the freedom to follow both her heart and the skills she has.Thursday, February 14, 2013
