My first period drama edit lol

One of my all time favorite period dramas and books. Ranks in the top 3 for me (along with P&P and N&S). Nothing beats a classic victorian mystery story with some juicy hidden romances to top it off. 🤗

"As all partings foreshadow the great final one, - so, empty rooms, bereft of a familiar presence, mournfully whisper what your room and what mine must one day be."

Maria Callas portrays a dying Violetta in 1958 production of La Traviata.

Mina Mazzini - Italian Pop Singer

Mina was banned from TV and radio in 1963 because her pregnancy and relationship with a married actor did not accord with the dominant Catholic and bourgeois morals. After the ban, the public broadcasting service RAI tried to continue to prohibit her songs, which were forthright in dealing with subjects such as religion, smoking and sex. Mina's cool act combined sex appeal with public smoking, dyed blonde hair, and shaved eyebrows to create a "bad girl" image
