Libero Bigiaretti (16 May 1906 – 3 May 1993) was an Italian novelist, poet, translator and social critic. Apart from his literary works, he also was a journalist and a television presenter for the national public broadcasting company of Italy.
Biography
Bigiaretti was born in Matelica, and worked as a journalist in Rome for several years. He started writing and publishing hermetic poetry, but pretty soon he concentrated on fiction, analyzing on problems of moral ambiguity of society.[1] His novels and short stories often dealt with issues in the adolescence period, in particular focusing on the intersections between sensuality and morality.[2] In addition, he wrote novels with the aim to unmask the hypocrisies of the bourgeois and political classes, concerned with the effects of social class on the morality of individuals as happen, notably, in the novel Il congresso, where he also presented the romantic theme of love through the story of Anna, the main character of that book.[3][4] Bigiaretti was also known as television presenter conducting two programs on RAI: Dito puntato (1967) and Punto interrogativo (1971-1973).[citation needed]
