  HIT THE ROAD, NONNA
  Hit the Road, Granny

  Italy 2011 64'
  Directed by: Duccio Chiarini
  Mrs Delia, the title’s grandmother, was one of the first women
  entrepreneurs in the sector of the Italian clothing destined to
  international large-scale retail trade. She challenged all conventions, including the ‘regular’ machismo in her working milieu, and gave up (without any regrets?) being a full-time wife and mother. Therefore, Delia can be considered an emblem of the change in the role of woman in Italian society after the war.
