Early life and education

Alberti was born in Umbertide and grew up in a poor family, receiving a Catholic education.[1] When she was 15, her family moved to Rome. Although Alberti said that she hated the city at first sight, she eventually warmed to it. She attended Rome's University and took a degree in philosophy.

Work

In her eclectic production, which aims to fight loser of the feminine image, there are also different works, from the picaresque evil Memorie Malvagie (1976) to the meditative Vangelo secondo Maria (1979), a stronger work tinged with humor and provocation suchas Il signore è sevito (1983), Povera bambina (1988), Parliamo d'amore (1989), Delirio e Gianna Nannini from Siena, both from 1991, and Il promesso sposo (1994), a profile dedicated to the art critic Vittorio Sgarbi and presented in the guise of a "fake" autobiography.

As a kind of humor is 'La donna è un animale stravagante davvero: ottanta ritratti ingiusti e capricciosi' (1998), in which Alberti was an Don Giovanni imaginary beside some female figures notes of her generation. The protagonists of her novels launch all the same challenge: to find the most invisible among happiness. Creatures in revolt: injudicious old, children of hell, hell, saints. Come back often the religious argument. In the past decade has been passionate about the fantastic biographies of existing characters, living and dead.

In 2003, Alberti published Gelosa di Mayakovsky, the biography of the famous poet (for which, in the same year, she was awarded the Alghero Woman Prize, and The Prince's Steering Wheel, in which she told with malice and loving the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. In 2006 she authored a book of short stories about husbands returning home.

She is also the author of many screenplays, including "Anche gli angeli mangiano fagioli" (1973), Il portiere di notte[2] (1974) and Melissa P. (2005), as well as playwrights (Ecce Homo).[3]

Since 2009, she has held a pungent weekly column, "La posta di Barbara Alberti" in Il Fatto Quotidiano.[4]

Alberti also worked as commentator and pundit on several television talk shows, including Pomeriggio 5, Italia sul 2 and La guardiana del faro[5], a weekly program aired on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 10:00 on Radio 24.

Personal life

Alberti was married to producer and screenwriter Amedeo Pagani.[6] They have two children, Gloria Samuela, or Sami (1966) and Malcolm (1975). Pagani and Alberti were married three times: They first got married in London to please her father, then in the Abbey of Casamari in Ciociaria to please Pagani's mother as she did not know that about the wedding in London, and for a third and last time "in the house of Ananias grandfather, my father's father, with lots of dancing on the threshing floor." Pagani left Alberti in the 1980s for Elisabetta Billi but eventually returned to her fifteen years later because of the children. They never officially divorced and Alberti now refers to him as "then-husband, now a dear relative".
