Italian literature has always given us masterpieces of various genres, from coming-of-age novels to thrillers, and that have become famous all over the world. Just think of the works of Luigi Pirandello, the repertoire of Gabriele D'Annunzio or the supreme Dante Alighieri, whose Commedia never ages and still keeps inspiring novelists everywhere.

In particular, over the past 50-70 years, contemporary Italian literature has been enriched by the names of writers, men and women, who have given us priceless and precious titles, that actually became modern classics. No surprise, for example, that Elena Ferrante's works, which are inherently Italian but even particularly groundbreaking, have spread across the United States and have generated the so called “Ferrante Fever”.
