GIUSEPPE TOMASI DI LAMPEDUSA

Giuseppe  Tomasi di Lampedusa ( December 23, 1896 – July 23, 1957) was an Italian writer. He is most famous for his only novel, Il Gattopardo (first published posthumously in 1958, translated as The Leopard), which is set in his native Sicily during the Risorgimento. A taciturn and solitary man, he passed a great deal of his time reading and meditating, and used to say of himself, "I was a boy who liked solitude, who preferred the company of things to that of people." He loved food of his Sicily very very much and we can read the triumphal entry of maccheroni timbale case at the  dinner between Tancredi and Angelica: a smell full of aromas came from it and they could see the chicken livers, the hard little eggs, the unravelled part of the ham, and the truffles in the hot, greasy mass of short maccheroni.
