Alfredo Oriani Books

Despite his origins in a privileged minor aristocratic family, Alfredo Oriani experienced a difficult childhood marked by solitude and a lack of affection. These formative experiences deeply influenced his literary output, which spans novels, political and historical essays, plays, and poetry. His works often reflect his own solitary and somewhat abrasive nature, frequently facing criticism that deemed them obscene. Oriani spent much of his life in seclusion at his family villa, where he lived out his days in quiet obscurity.
