Sveva: Living Happily Ever

After Ofelia died in 1960 when she was 64 years old. Finally, Sveva was free of her obligation to her mother. Sveva was 43, and she felt that her life was just beginning. In her will, Ofelia left the last of her possessions, a house in Italy, to the Catholic Church. There was little Caetani money left for Sveva. This meant that Sveva had to find a job and earn a living for the first time in her life. Luckily, Sveva’s father had already left the house to her. However, she needed money to pay for its upkeep. She needed money to support herself and the elderly Miss Juul. Like a spring flower blooming after a long winter, Sveva blossomed in the community. She learned to drive, she joined local clubs, she made many new friends, and she started to teach school.
