ANNA BANTI
ANNA BANTI, the pen name of Lucia Lopresti, was born in Florence in 1895. Like Artemisia Gentileschi, Anna Banti was always defined by a male mentor –in her case, her husband Roberto Longhi to whom Artemisia is dedicated. Until his death in 1970, Anna Banti lived in Roberto Longhi’s shadow. Since then, like Artemisia , she has found an audience – inspired by feminism - able to appreciate her genius in its own right. The dialogue between author and subject in Artemisia is one of the great literary conversations of our time.
