| biography:
| Writer, born in Naples, Campania, SW Italy. He worked as a journalist in Milan, but his best-known short stories are set in his native Naples whose environment he describes with realism and gentle humour, as in L'oro di Napoli (1947), San Gennaro non dice mai di no (1948), and Gli alunni del sole (1952). He also wrote plays, such as Veronica e gli ospiti (1959), and scripts. |
