Alberto Moravia

Died in 1990

Alberto Moravia, whose real name was Alberto Pincherle (died 1990), was born in Rome in 1907. Afflicted in childhood with bone tuberculosis, he spent long years bedridden, partly in a sanatorium, and did not follow regular studies. A journalist and critic, he saw his books poorly received by the Fascist regime. In 1953 he founded the journal Nuovi Argomenti, sat in the European Parliament from 1984 and died in Rome in 1990.
