Vitaliano Brancati
Vitaliano Brancati (born July 24, 1907 in Pachino , † September 25, 1954 in Turin ) was an Italian writer .
After school and training, Brancati worked for several years as a high school teacher in Catania and Rome . Around 1933 he experienced a personal ideological crisis under the influence of fascism , which he overcame and after 1945 led to a humorous and moralistic criticism of the fascist system. After the end of the Second World War he worked as a freelance writer. He wrote several time-critical novels , stories and dramas, in the center of which he repeatedly placed the Sicilian man. He particularly addressed the biases and erotic obsessions characteristic of the province. A characteristic of Brancati's works is an equally liberal and individualistic point of view in looking at the world.
