Im moving to Rome in August and before i go, i want to spend the summer learing italian and reading italian literature (using english translations in the begining). Im not talking about works from Ancient Rome, written in latin, but works of literature that was written in the language used in itally today.

What are some essential books/authors i should read?

Not technically Italian but takes place in Italy a lot, I recommend Szerb's Journey by Moonlight, there's some good Rome scenes.

Pirandello. there's some Dover dual language books that'll help you a lot if you can put your hands on them.
