July 23, 1908 – February 12, 1966
Elio Vittorini was an influential Italian voice in modernist prose, whose works often explored themes of fascism and censorship. His unique style, shaped by American literature, carried a strong social and political undertone. Vittorini's writing served as a form of resistance against oppression, with many of his pieces delayed or unpublished due to fascist censorship. He remains a significant figure in Italian literature for his courage and literary innovation.
