Daniele Del Giudice

Daniele Del Giudice was an Italian writer and journalist.

After a period as a critic and journalist for Paese Sera, Del Giudice made his debut in 1983 with the novel The Wimbledon Stadium, discovered by Italo Calvino, published, like the subsequent ones, by Einaudi, and centered on the figure of Bobi Bazlen. His second book was Western Atlas (1985), which chronicles the relationship between the physicist Pietro Brahe and the writer Ira Epstein. In 1988, Del Giudice published Nel museo di Reims, the story of Barnaba and his desire to fix the images of a museum in his memory before becoming blind. In 1994 Staccando l'ombra da terra was published, a book containing six stories dedicated to flying, which won the Bagutta Prize.

Starting from 6 June 2014, he was awarded an extraordinary lifetime allowance based on the Bacchelli Law.

In recent years, Alzheimer's has slowly taken away his intellect and his words. But the words he left continue to illuminate his rigorous, even painful life.
