Shadows of a Tuscan Moon

SHADOWS OF A TUSCAN MOON is loosely inspired by the mysterious case of Roberta Ragusa, a beautiful mother of two who vanished from her home in the Italian countryside without leaving a trace. Roberta's husband, Antonio Logli, has been charged with her murder, and the trial is currently underway. SHADOWS OF A TUSCAN MOON has been written in collaboration with Giovanni Logli, Antonio's brother, in hope of raising awareness on domestic abuse and violence on women.

SHADOWS OF A TUSCAN MOON tells the story of Rosa, a young woman who awakens alone in an unfamiliar hospital room, with no recollection of her own identity. She feels no emotion, no physical pain, and she is puzzled when the staff at the facility offers no explanation for her loss of memory. Assigned a temporary name and invited to meet other residents, she listens to their stories. Slowly, the sealed doors of her mind begin to unlock, flooding her with the pain of her own recent traumatic experience. She remembers a past filled with horror and anguish, and wishes she could retreat once again into a cocoon of oblivion and safety, but the journey she has embarked on is one of no return. As images of violence and abuse flood her mind, Rosa slips toward the brink of insanity. Instead, she finds comfort and peace in listening to the other women's stories, and it is through her acceptance of their excruciating realities that she will find the resolve to face her innermost fears and open the final door that will lead to her salvation.
