When Maria Callas arrived in Italy in June 1947 – ready to start her international career at the Arena di Verona – she was twenty-three and had already lived intensely. She went through the years of the Depression in New York and the Second World War in Athens and, with the help of Elvira de Hidalgo, she trained her voice to face a repertoire without borders, becoming the brightest and controversial star of the Greek National Opera. Once Callas arrived in Italy she had no desire to talk about those events, without which she would never have become an artist capable of changing the world of opera forever. In this biography, that somewhat secret, but passionate, phase of his life is told by a music critic who always finds the link between the often distressing, training experiences, and the artistic achievements of the most famous diva of all time.
