Tra le rose e le viole: La storia e le storie di transessuali e travestiti (Among the Roses and Violets: The History and Stories of Transsexuals and Crossdressers) is a 2020 book by Italian activist and sociologist Porpora Marcasciano, that recounts fifty years of transvestite and transsexual struggles for identity and civil rights in Italy.[1][2] The book is about the transgender and crossdressing communities in Italy. This revised and updated edition has a new preface and postface. [3] Marcasciano wrote about her personal experiences as a transgender activist, along with interviews with other people from the trans activist community of varying ages.[4] Through these testimonies, the book covers transphobia, but also highlights the joy of solidarity and shared victories.[5] The title itself, Tra le rose e le viole, is a reference to a childhood rhyme.[6][7][8]
