	Marta Abba the Maestro
		Marta was the true actress for whom he had been waiting after his earlier disappointment with Eleonora Duse.
		Marta’s mouth is half open in a sensuous and provoking smile that shows her upper teeth between heavily painted lips – lips that seem ready to swallow up the viewer.
		It was not by chance that Marta entered Pirandello’s world with the role of Dea, the protagonist of Massimo Bontempelli’s Nostra Dea, which premiered at the Odescalchi theater in Rome on April 22, 1925.

	Pirandello, L.; Ortolani, B., ed. and trans.: Pirandello's Love Letters to Marta Abba.
		In February 1925, the 58-year-old world-famous playwright Luigi Pirandello met Marta Abba, an unknown, beautiful actress less than half his age, and fell in love with her.
		Bitterly disillusioned by the conditions of the theatrical world in Italy, Pirandello and Abba shared a dream of going abroad to earn their fortune and returning to Italy with the means to establish a national theater dedicated to high artistic standards.
		In March 1929, when Marta finally yielded to family pressure and left Pirandello alone in Berlin to revive her Italian stage career and to end rumors over their involvement, he endured a devastating heartbreak and fell into a life-threatening depression--more profound and long-lasting than any of his biographers have yet imagined.

	Pirandello and His Muse- a new book from the University Press of Florida
		It traces the Nobel Prize winner's entire creative process, revealing how his perception of women shaped his philosophy of art and life, and highlights the structurally necessary shift from the male protagonist of the early and more famous plays and novels to the female protagonist of the late theater.
		She points out a contrast between the man and the artist-- the traditional and conservative son, husband, and father who coexisted with the revolutionary writer who changed the course of 20th-century drama.
		Abba was the catalyst, Bini argues; together, the muse and the Maestro gave life to immortal artistic creations.

	Ortolani, B., ed.: Luigi Pirandello: Lettere a Marta Abba. Italian Edition.
		Italian edition In spring 1994, Princeton University Press announced its publication of the English-language edition of Luigi Pirandello's letters to Marta Abba, a young actress who in the last years of the playwright's life became his confidante, inspiring muse, artistic collaborator, and, to his profound despair, the unattainable object of his love.
		Written between 1925 and 1936, these powerful and moving letters to Abba are the only source that reveals the true story behind the hopeless passion that had secretly consumed Pirandello until his death.
		The hundreds of letters Pirandello wrote to Abba during these years reward the reader with the unique experience of living in intimacy with a profound poet of human pain.

		Marta Abba, the Grand Dutchess, although an Italian actress, speaks English with a thrilling Russian accent.
		She has all the fervor that the part requires, and her sudden shifts from the sublime to the petty are brilliant.
		Rudolf Forster, an Austrian, makes his accent sound just like Miss Abba's, and he is just as splendid in his mad Russian gusto, although he shows the restraint befitting a prince consort.

		For all Pirandello’s utterances about the uniqueness of the character, however, it is clear from his working practices that he wrote plays for specific actors, notably Ruggero Ruggeri and Marta Abba, ‘borrowed’ speeches from characters of previous plays and interchanged speeches between the characters in individual plays.
		These were also influenced by the presence in the Teatro d’Arte of Marta Abba, who took the leading roles and for whom Pirandello wrote a number of plays.
		In Marta Abba, Pirandello found the actor best able to produce on stage the effects he wanted: the impression of a suffering puppet, a being of passionate intensity whose actions and speech delivery were fragmented and staccato.

	The New York Review of Books: 'When One Is a Somebody'
		The Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello fell in love with the actress Marta Abba in 1925, when he was fifty-eight and she not quite twenty-five.
		Even if Abba had been willing, he could not have married her under Italian law: his wife was alive, though she had been confined in an asylum for many years.
		Pirandello remained infatuated with Abba until his death eleven years later, and the Italian edition of his letters to her runs to more than 1,500 pages of mostly distressing text.

	Luigi Pirandello
		From 164 of the 522 letters Abba donated to Princeton University Library before her death, Ortalini (Theater/Brooklyn College) meticulously represents Pirandello's obsessive involvement.
		As he explains in an exhaustive and occasionally feverish introduction, in a scrupulously detailed chronology, repetitive introductions, intrusive footnotes, and an excessively particularized index, the letters reveal Pirandello's suffering, anguish, his dream of a national theater, the perfidy of his "enemies" (other playwrights), and his financial difficulties.
		He offered frequent apologies to Marta, a busy and successful actress, for his obsessive pursuit in what was to remain an unconsummated and unrequited affair.
