Loriano Macchiavelli

This Italian author is celebrated for his mystery novels and plays, also lending his talents as a theatre impresario, actor, and playwright. His most enduring character is the police detective Sarti Antonio, whose strong moral compass is often juxtaposed with his mediocre investigative skills, frequently relying on the sharp intellect of a university student named Rosas. More recently, he has penned detective novels featuring a Carabinieri maresciallo, Benedetto Santovito, in collaboration with a singer-songwriter. His compelling narratives have resonated internationally, with translations and adaptations for television and film.
