Alfonso Berardinelli (Rome, 1943) is one of the most renowned intellectuals in Italy. His essays on poetry, narrative, politics and, in general, social and cultural criticism, have had an enormous impact on the Italian cultural and media establishment. A professor of the History of Modern Literature in Venice for 20 years, in 1995 he resigned from his professorship at the university and left teaching, creating a strong controversy with this gesture. Since then he has dedicated himself to giving lectures and writing.
