Alberto Moravia ricorda Carlo Levi (1976)

Seventh Day - Cultural Current Affairs, 1976. Enzo Siciliano interviews Alberto Moravia about his relationship with Carlo Levi, one year after the Turin writer's death. Moravia discusses his happy, sunny nature, the relationship between painting and writing, and the success of "Christ Stopped at Eboli." Alberto Moravia (1907-1990) was one of the most important novelists of the 20th century, but also a poet, travel reporter, playwright, and film critic. His penetrating and unsparing gaze on Italian reality and the contradictions of modern society, his lucid analysis of sexuality and social alienation, and his political and artistic commitment permeated his life and work, translating into the unmistakable dry and cutting prose of all his writings.
