Elsa Morante

Elsa Morante (died 1985) was born in Rome in 1912, in a complicated family situation: her real father was not her mother's husband. Self-taught, she began writing stories in the thirties and published her first books in 1941 and 1942. In the same year she married Alberto Moravia, from whom she separated in the early sixties. She received the Strega Prize in 1957, and her last novel appeared in 1982. She died in Rome in 1985.
