« They call me Bernardina. I have no family name. Just a P, branded with red-hot iron, at the top of my left arm. P as Pietà. P with no mercy for the baby abandoned in the scafetta of the poorhouse. Did I suffer when the surgeon tattooed me like a common sheep ? Who can tell ? Children with no family are children with no memory.

The P of Anna Maria is clearer than mine. All is clearer and more graceful in Anna Maria. Anna Maria’s grace : my joy and misfortune. »
