| biography:
| Writer, born in Vigevano, Lombardy, N Italy. He described with realism and bitter irony his home town's provincial social setting in his first novel, Il calzolaio di Vigevano (1959). The same experimental language and satirical tone characterized his later works, such as Il maestro di Vigevano (1962), Il meridionale di Vigevano (1964), and L'assicuratore (1975). |
