Edith Arnaldi alias Rosa Rosà (around 1930)

Life

Edith von Haynau was the daughter of Ernst Baron von Haynau and Harriet Mautner von Markhof. Her father came from a family of the Austrian officer corps and civil servant nobility. As a senior daughter, she attended the Vienna art school for women and girls for two years .

In 1908 she married the Italian lawyer and journalist Ulrico Arnaldi , who also pursued artistic ambitions; they moved to Rome and had four children between 1909 and 1915.

When Italy entered the First World War in 1915 and her husband was drafted as a soldier, she came into contact with Filippo Tommaso Marinetti , the main representative of Italian Futurism , and took the stage name Rosa Rosà, which she derived from the place Rosà in Veneto . Between 1916 and 1918 Rosà wrote the articles Romanticismo sonnambulo and Moltitudine in Italian for the journal L'Italia Futurista , which was published in Florence and was the first literary journal to publish articles by women . In 1918 she published her first novel, La donna con tre anime (Eng. About the woman with three souls ), which is seen today as an anticipation of literary surrealism , and in 1919 a second with the title Non c'è che te! (Eng. there is nothing but you ).

In 1917 Rosà began to produce illustrations for books, initially for Sam Dunn è morto by Bruno Corra , in a magical style. In 1921 she created 40 illustrations for an edition of Thousand and One Nights , illustrated the Persian parrot book for a German translation, which was printed in Vienna in 1922, and illustrated Arnaldo Ginna's early Surrealist book Le locomotive con le calze . Between 1920 and 1922 she was an author for the magazine La donna . As a painter, she was represented in the Esposizione futurista internazionale in Milan , Genoa and Florence in 1919 and also took part in the 1922 futurist exhibition in Berlin.

In addition to literature and painting, Rosa Rosà also worked in sculpture and pottery.

Towards the end of her long, artistically active life, she published two books on cultural history about the Mediterranean: Eterno mediterraneo (1964, German about Eternal Mediterranean ) and Il fenomeno Bisanzio (1970, German about Byzantium phenomenon ). Two other novels, La casa della felicità (German about The House of Happiness ) and Fuga dal labirinto (German about escape from the labyrinth ), as well as her autobiography Il Danubio è grigio (German about The Danube is gray ) remained unfinished.
