Giorgio Fontana
From 11 July to 8 August 2018

Born in 1981, Giorgio Fontana is an Italian writer. He was awarded the 2014 Campiello Prize with Morte di un uomo felice (Death of a happy man). He is working on a literary essay on his favourite writer and greatest inspiration, Franz Kafka. His goal is to restore a truer and more complex image of the Czech writer, focusing in particular on some neglected aspects of his work: the clowneries, the fight against power and the struggle for resistance (“even if no salvation should come”).
