D'Annunzio, Tomasi di Lampedusa, Buzzati

I enjoyed very much Pirandello, Svevo, Buzzati and Calvino.

i'd imagine almost all major italian prose writers fit that description.

dante literally wrote the best prose of all time

I assume you're talking about la divina commedia. Isn't that an epic poem though?

Umberto Eco

Stefano Benni

Sciascia

Giorgio Manganelli and Antonio Moresco are by far the best prose writers you can find in the Italian language - at least, if you can stomach prose less than a century old. Otherwise just stick to Verga, Manzoni and all the other classics. They aren't as fun tho.

Never heard of them, what books do you advice me?

>>7331005
this

Leopardi

Calvino.

D'Annunzio is purely shit. The best italian prose is identificable in Calvino, Svevo and Igniazio Silone fucking decadentisti demmerda

>>7334864
What the cazzo you have against the decadentisti you little merda.

Che poi onestamente nemmeno io trovo D'Annunzio grandioso però alcuni suoi passaggi sono da pura erezione dai.

It's not prose, nor is it the best.

Dante's "the Divine Comedy" I love how he just get's angry at people in everyday life and writes them in for no good reason and it ruined their lives, it's like me writing:
"and there's STEVE, the bastard raised the price of the book I said I was going to buy, YOU ARE GOING T HELL STEVE"
And it becoming as popular as Harry Potter.

Boccaccio. Fuck the haters, he actually writes about what normal people thought and felt. Although I'm probably extremely biased by being incredibly interested in renaissance Italy as a whole, so anything primary that goes in-depth about what and how people thought is a wet dream come true.

Then there's Mr Collect Wheat Erryday himself. Although you've probably already read that.

I'd also say Machiavelli...but that would definitely just be my historyboner talking.
