Looking for Paradise: The School
The school attended by the son of Claudia's friend (Buy) is the Liceo Virgilio in Via Tiepolo in Milan, already seen in Popular Romance. The facility also contains a secondary school.
PLOT:
From a text by Giuseppe Pontiggia, Storie di uomini poco illustri. The story of Claudia, born in 1949, who goes through all the experiences of a ‘free’ woman. She begins with Sixty-Eight, occupying the university but without understanding the essence of the movement. She wants to be deflowered by the student leader but falls back on Lello Arena. She tries ‘smoking’ and more believes in free sex, and gets pregnant, of course without knowing whose. Cyclically she returns to her parents, traumatized, but patient and decent, and of course, treated badly. The baby is born, black. Claudia leaves again. She runs into a mystical puppeteer and marries him. She falls back on bourgeois life, but not for long. She goes as a missionary to Africa where she finds yet another ‘guru’, with poor Lello always at her disposal..
