Abstract

[In this chapter Elena Laurenzi highlights the legacy received by the second generation of the De Viti de Marco family. The two daughters of Carolina (Lucia and Giulia Starace), together with one of Harriet’s daughters (Lucia de Viti de Marco), continued the social and political commitment of the previous generation, developing it in different directions. In 1908 Lucia Starace (1891–1983), then eighteen, moved to Koppies, a village in South Africa, to pass on the culture of lacemaking and the ideals of female emancipation and autonomy to the Boer women. Living and teaching in corrugated iron shacks, travelling on horseback to reach the students’ homesteads, she replicated the experiences of her Italian forerunners. Once back to Italy, Lucia Starace opened a new lacemaking school and workshop, spreading and transmitting techniques, entrepreneurial spirit and values. On their side, the two cousins Giulia Starace (1895–1984) and Lucia de Viti de Marco (1900–1989) created a Steiner community where they treated children suffering from polio. In the meanwhile, they pursued the project of creating a centre for the promotion of a holistic vision embracing healthcare, non-alienated labour, respect for the environment and organic farming. In the end, this utopian project took the more realistic shape of a foundation that they succeeded in setting up, and that is still working today.]
