The main witness

Up until now I had in hand the material Fosca Gori had the kindness to let me use. By themselves the copies of the photographs were a valuable base to work on; I knew that Maria had taken most of them, but who were the people in them? At what period approximately were they taken? Concerning the letters and the postcards, it was much easier to decipher them because despite the fact they were written in Italian, most of them were dated and described in accurate detail Maria Huxley’s first impressions when confronted with the new country. All these documents seemed to be most valuable unpublished testimonies.
