History: A Novel (Italian: La Storia) is a novel by Italian author Elsa Morante, largely seen to be her most famous and controversial work. Published in 1974, it narrates the story of a woman, Ida Ramundo, and her two sons Antonio (called "Nino") and Giuseppe ("Useppe") in Rome, during and immediately after the Second World War.
A motion picture based on that novel, directed by Luigi Comencini and starring Claudia Cardinale, was produced in 1986.
