*M. is a pretty, 27-year-old woman with dark hair and long-fingered hands that move excitedly as she talks.
It's hard to picture her, ten years ago, as a teenage boy just about to begin his studies at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Bologna.
M. was born in a small town in the south of Italy where, in the mid-80s, the word 'transsexual' was largely unheard of. She is an actress who also happens to be an "MtF," a male-to-female transsexual.
