DVD - THROUGH LOVE PAOLA MAZZETTI'S  STORY

Paola Mazzetti lost her mother when she was very young. She and her twin sister Lorenza were placed in the care of family friends because their father often travelled for work.

They went to live in the house of the futurist painter Giannattasio.

They later went to live with their Aunt Nina Mazzetti in a large house in the Tuscan countryside, Villa del Focardo.

The twins here  found an ideal environment; Aunt Nina was married to Robert Einstein, Albert's cousin, and they had two daughters.

Together with their youngest daughter they formed a close-knit group, played in the villa and for them life was like a paradise on earth. But one day it all ended.

SS soldiers took possession of the villa and after a summary interrogation killed Nina Mazzetti and her daughters because they were Jewish.

Robert was not present at that time.

Paola and Lorenza were spared because they were not Jewish, but they heard the gunshots as their aunt and cousins were shot.

For both of them it was an incalculable trauma, unthinkable. Thanks to the love of people like Tullio Vinai and to art and psychology, Paola Mazzetti was able to overcome the trauma and start living again.

Sister Lorenza also found her way through both painting and film, founding the Free Cinema in London, along with Lindsay Anderson, Tony Richardson, and Karel Reisz.

Despite what happened to her, Paola Mazzetti has always affirmed that love and forgiveness are the only ways out, there is no need for hatred and revenge. ..
