In the 1930s a generation of Italian writers and intellectuals looked towards the North American culture to escape from the hardship of the Fascist officiality. Cesare Pavese was a main character of this stage, through several translations (Melville, Fawlkner, among others) and essays on American literature. A young Fernanda Pivano, through her friendship with Pavese, continued this work, maintaining alive in Italy the encounter with the American culture, both in literature and in popular music. Her influence can be detected in the music of many songwriter, as Fabrizio De André.Downloads
