About the Director
Donna DiGiuseppe was inspired by her Italian roots to write about an historic Italian woman, Sofonisba Anguissola. DiGiuseppe studied the Italian Renaissance at the University of California, Berkeley, and Sofonisba Anguissola at San Francisco State University. The novel ‘Lady In Ermine: The Story of a Woman Who Painted the Renaissance’ was published in 2019 and is found at sofonisba.net. This short film is a proof of concept for a feature film adapting the novel as a 104 minute biopic feature.
