As the economic miracle of the 1950s and 1960s transformed Italy from a poor and largely rural nation into a prosperous, modern one, attitudes to love changed too. This book draws on unpublished personal testimonies of ordinary men and women, exploring their thoughts on courtship, marriage, honour, forced marriage, jealousy, and marriage breakdown.
