Amelia Rosselli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amelia Rosselli (Paris, 1930 - Rome, 1996) was an Italian poet. She was the daughter of Carlo Rosselli who was a member of the Italian Resistance assassinated by the secret services of the Fascist regime in 1937. She spent her life studying ethnomusicology and taking part in the cultural life of postwar Italy as poet and literary translator. She committed suicide in Rome in 1996, not incidentally on the same day Sylvia Plath killed herself.
