| Found in | Niente ci fu, 2012: cover (Franca Viola) Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, November 16, 2016: Franca Viola page (Franca Viola; born 7 January 1947 in Alcamo; Italian woman who became famous in the 1960s in Italy for refusing a "rehabilitating marriage" with her victimizer after suffering kidnapping and rape. Instead, she and her family successfully appealed to the law to prosecute the rapist. The trial had a wide resonance in Italy, as Viola's behavior clashed with traditional social conventions in southern Italy, according to which a woman would lose her honor if she did not marry the man to whom she lost her virginity. Franca Viola thus became a symbol of the cultural progress and the emancipation of women in post-war Italy) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franca_Viola> |
