5. «However, looking further back in the life of
Gaetano Pesce, we can learn of the feminie
influence that has manifested itself in some of
his works. During his childhood, Pesce was
expelled from various educational institutions
(due to his rebelious nature), and as a result
was “briefly [enrolled] in a convent academy for
girls. There he was happy” (Marisa Bartolucci,
pp.9)
