Silent Divas of the Italian Cinema. When on a shopping spree for anguish, rapture, martyrdom, comas, counts, rapes, bastards, orphans, dogaressas, philtres, sirens, suicides, mistaken identities, flower festivals, and sudden fatal loves—even a tattooed baby—one need look no further than the Italian Diva Film, a vast clearinghouse of art nouveau decors and 1. Gathering into one deeply conscious glance all the beauty scattered so sublimely through that last hour of the fin de si. Indolently we bathe in her fragrant mysticisms and sensualities, while all about her, rent hearts and havoc are strewn with the violence of Armageddon. Even she is consumed by the force of her own storm—babies are ripped from her arms, leering roadmen are thrust into their place. She is buffeted by betrayals. Her purses are torn away.

One can feel in all the scenarios the pervasive influence of Gabriele D’Annunzio—a kind of Italian Walt Disney of his day, his long- gloved fingers in a bit of everything. It seems plausible that D’Annunzio, the great sensualist author and poet, ghostwrote the screenplays and, with his one tin eye shining, oversaw the production of these movies like the construction of so many death- rides at a great Liebestod theme park. Preferring more subservient women for his country’s ideal, he especially disapproved of an art form that celebrated the fearsome power and savage suffering of the feminine. After his rise to power, the diva film went into eclipse.
