Valeria Parrella publishes new book about Giovanna d’Arco

Valeria Parrella has published a new book titled La ragazzina through Feltrinelli. The work is a literary account of the experiences of Giovanna d’Arco rather than a formal biography or hagiography.

The book uses documented sources to explore the thoughts and feelings of Giovanna d’Arco during her mission in France five centuries ago. Parrella depicts how Giovanna d’Arco responded to the voices she received and her efforts to fulfill her task despite being labeled a spy, a heretic, and a woman of ill repute for wearing men's clothing.
