I thought it was alright.
antonio moresco
there's nothing unique about it other than that it is written in sloped text

here's your reply
Italo svevo, ludovico ariosto, torquato tasso, ignazio silone, boccaccio (caucher copied his decameron), guido cavalcante, marino, ugo foscolo, giacomo leopardi, petrarca, ungaretti, montale, giosuè carducci, parini,pirandello, pasolini, italo calvino, lorenzo il magnifico, saba, arbasino.
And those are just the fewest that come in my mind
