| biography:
| Writer, born in Alba, Piedmont, N Italy. A partisan during World War 2, he made that experience one of the main subjects of his work. His description of peasant life in Piedmont's Langhe region breaks away from neo-realism because of its focus on the individual. Notable is his use of both the local dialect and English within his books, which include I ventitré giorni della città di Alba (1952), Primavera di bellezza (1959), Il partigiano Johnny (1968), and La paga del sabato (1969). |
