“Don Benedetto, sitting on the low garden wall in the shadow of a cypress, was reading his breviary.”
Secondino Tranquilli (1 May 1900 – 22 August 1978), known by the pseudonym Ignazio Silone), was an Italian political leader, novelist, and short-story writer, world-famous during World War II for his powerful anti-fascist novels. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature ten times.
