Life

Amelia Rosselli was the daughter of the anti-fascist and historian Carlo Rosselli and Marion Caves , a Quaker and activist from the Labor Party. After the murder of his father and uncle ( Nello Rosselli ) by the right-wing extremist secret society La Cagoule in France in 1937, Rosselli lived in Switzerland , the United States and England from 1940-1946 , where she studied literature, philosophy and music.

From 1947 Rosselli lived in Italy, worked as an editor and translator for various publishers and the RAI and published in the magazines Botteghe Oscure , Civiltà delle Macchine , Il Verri and Il Menabò . She is one of the members of the Italian literary movement Neoavanguardia .

On February 11, 1996, the same day as the poet Sylvia Plath , whom she venerated and translated, 33 years earlier, Rosselli committed suicide in Rome.

The Premio Amelia Rosselli per gli editori romani of the city of Rome is named after her.
