La Madonna di Mamà: Romanzo del tempo della guerra

Alfredo Panzini

1863–1939

An Italian novelist, essayist, critic, and lexicographer, he brought everyday life and travel to the page with wit, warmth, and a sharp eye for language. A student of Giosuè Carducci, he became especially well known for lively prose and for his long-running dictionary of modern Italian usage.
