Laudomia Bonanni

Laudomia Bonanni (8 December 1907 – 21 February 2002) was an Italian writer and journalist. Although she started publishing when she was a teenager, her literary career took off in 1948 when she won a national contest; she went on to be a prolific and award-winning author. The Nobel laureate Eugenio Montale compared her realism to James Joyce’s ''Dubliners'', and other distinguished critics considered her one of the most important and original voices in Italy’s post-World War II literature.
