Giovannino Guareschi

    May 1, 1908 – July 22, 1968

    This journalist, writer, and humorist co-founded the satirical magazine "Candido." His most famous works draw from the contrasting relationship between the priest Don Camillo and the communist Mayor Peppone. Through these characters, he masterfully captured the tensions and humor of post-war Italy. His writing is rich with insights into human nature and societal divides.

      La Bassa: così è chiamata la terra emiliana in riva al Po. In questa pianura, che brucia di sole in estate e sprofonda nella nebbia d'inverno, la passione politica, come dice Guareschi, arriva spesso ad una intensità preoccupante.Qui nascono le storie di Don Camillo della Bassa (il libro che raccoglie i racconti già pubblicati con i titoli Gente così e Lo Spumarino pallido): sono storie vere di gente vera, gente che "è simpatica e ospitale e generosa e ha uno spiccato senso dell'umorismo". Gente che per glorificare Dio o il Partito farebbe qualunque cosa, salvo una: dimenticare l'amicizia. Un'amicizia che lega da sempre don Camillo e Peppone, che mantiene il calore dell'affetto, della complicità e del cameratismo al di là delle divergenze politiche.
