Italo Calvino

Italo Calvino (Santiago de Las Vegas de La Habana, 15 ottobre 1923 – Siena, 19 settembre 1985) è stato uno scrittore e paroliere italiano. Intellettuale di grande impegno politico, civile e culturale, è stato uno dei narratori italiani più importanti del secondo Novecento. I numerosi campi d'interesse toccati dal suo percorso letterario sono meditati e raccontati attraverso capolavori quali la trilogia de I nostri antenati, Marcovaldo, Le cosmicomiche, Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore, uniti dal filo conduttore della riflessione sulla storia e la società contemporanea.
