Giorgio Bassani est un romancier et poète italien né le 4 mars 1916 à Bologne, et mort le 13 avril 2000 à Rome. Il est notamment connu pour son roman Le Jardin des Finzi-Contini, adapté au cinéma par Vittorio De Sica.

Biography

Giorgio Bassani naît à Bologne mais c'est à la ville de Ferrare qu'est liée son existence, ville où il passe son enfance et sa jeunesse. En 1939, il sort lauréat de la faculté des lettres de Bologne. Juif, il est victime des lois raciales de 1938, et il est obligé de publier en 1940 son premier livre Una città di pianura sous le pseudonyme de Giacomo Marchi. Militant antifasciste, il est incarcéré en 1943.

À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il part pour Rome où il tente sa chance au cinéma comme scénariste, mais également comme acteur. Il adhère à cette époque au Parti socialiste italien (il sera élu conseiller municipal apparenté PSI en 1962 et restera proche de ce parti jusqu'en 1966, date à laquelle il adhère au Parti républicain). C'est aussi à partir de cette époque, dans les années 1950 et 1960, que sa production littéraire, plus importante, paraît à un rythme soutenu.

Plusieurs de ses ouvrages reçoivent des prix littéraires et sont adaptés au cinéma. Les principales œuvres appartiennent au cycle du Roman de Ferrare (Il Romanzo di Ferrara).

Giorgio Bassani a aussi été professeur d'histoire à l'Académie nationale d'art dramatique, journaliste, vice-président de la RAI (de 1964 à 1966), rédacteur en chef de la revue littéraire Boteghe Oscure et directeur éditorial des éditions Feltrinelli.

Illibatezza ("Chastity") by Roberto Rossellini is a story of a beautiful stewardess which attracts unwanted attention from one of the air travelers - a middle aged American. The two overnight by chance in the same hotel. She has a fiancé back home, to whom she sends 8mm films made with her camera. These show how, in order to shoo away the unwanted flirtatious attentions of the traveler, all she had to do was to act in an aggressively provocative way; his sexual attraction being fueled by the shyness with which she initially tried to endure his advances.

In the late 1930s, in Ferrara, a group of young friends get together for afternoons of tennis and happy times. Some of them are Jewish and a rising tide of Fascism has imposed increasingly anti-Semitic restrictions in their lives. Barred from regular tennis clubs, they go to play at the grand, walled estate owned by the Finzi-Contini, a wealthy, intellectual and sophisticated Jewish family. The two young Finzi-Contini, Alberto and his sister Micol, have organized a tennis tournament. Oblivious to the threats around them, life still seems to be sunny at the large Finzi-Contini estate, keeping the rest of the world at bay.

Senso is set in Italy around 1866, when the Italian-Austrian war of unification was coming to an end. The story opens in the La Fenice opera house in Venice during a performance of Il Trovatore. At the close of Manrico's rousing aria Di quella pira, the opera is interrupted by a boisterous protest by Italian Nationalists against the occupying Austrian troops present in the theater. Livia Serpieri, an Italian countess, unhappily married to a stuffy older aristocrat, bears witness to this and tries to conceal the fact that her cousin Marquis Roberto Ussoni has organized the protest. During the commotion, she meets a dashing young Austrian Officer named Franz Mahler, and is instantly smitten with him. The two begin a secretive love affair. Despite the fact that Franz was responsible for sending Roberto into exile for his radical behavior, Livia vainly pretends not to be aware of it.
