About the Authors

Giorgio Bassani (1916-2000), among Italy's most important twentieth-century novelists and poets, grew up in Ferrara under fascism, the son of upper-middle-class Jewish parents. He participated in the anti-fascist resistance, then lived and worked for most of his life in Rome. Alongside his many literary activities, he was a founder and president of Italia Nostra, the environmental and cultural association.

Roberta Antognini is Associate Professor Emerita in Italian Studies at Vassar College and a member of the Committee of the Fondazione Bassani.
