Did Bob Dylan Follow Suze Rotolo to Italy? ‘A Complete Unknown’s’ Local Release Prompts Reports That He Visited Perugia to Find Her
'A Complete Unknown's' release in Italy is prompting reports that Bob Dylan traveled to Perugia in 1962 after Suze Rotolo went abroad to study.
In 1962, Rotolo left the Greenwich Village apartment where she had been living with Dylan and arrived with her mother in Perugia, where she attended the Italian city’s famed University for Foreigners. Rotolo’s separation from Dylan, who didn’t want her to go to Italy, is believed to have inspired the songs “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” and “Boots of Spanish Leather.” After their relationship drifted, as is shown in the film, Rotolo went back to Italy and in 1970 married Enzo Bartoccioli, an Italian filmmaker whom she had met while a student in Perugia.
