Florentine dancer, actress, writer and producer of wine, Natalia Guicciardini Strozzi recounts her life starting from childhood, recalling her encounters with many important celebrities and her past days as a very young ballerina in Russia. She describes her relationships with the people she had the incredible luck to meet and tells also how truly these famous and extraordinary people touched her life. "During the years of my career I have enjoyed so many unique experiences with great personalities of ballet, cinema, music and politics that I would hate to see these experiences... 'vanish into nothingness': therefore I have written 'my memoirs'. Even if no one reads them they will at least be recorded and, apart from being a true testimony, they will be my 'consolation of regret' of my past career, which I would wish to be only a moment compared with what still lies ahead of me".
