America's most thought-provoking playwright loved Italy more than any other country outside the U.S. and was deeply influenced by its culture for most of his life. Anna Magnani's film roles in the 1940s, Italian Neo-realist cinema, the theatre of Eduardo De Filippo, as well as the actual experience of Italian life and culture during his long stays in the country were some of the elements shaping his literary output. Through his lover Frank Merlo, he also had first-hand knowledge of Italian-American life in Brooklyn. Tracing the establishment of his reputation with the Italian intelligentsia, as well as with theatre practitioners and with generations of audiences, the book also tells the story of a momentous collaboration in the theatre, between Williams and Luchino Visconti, who had to defy the unceasing control Italian censorship exerted on Williams for decades. 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aAmerica?Literatures 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aNorth American Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aAmerica?Literatures. 615 14$aTheatre History. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 676 $a301 700 $aClericuzio$b Alessandro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0604248 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255236303321 996 $aTennessee Williams and Italy$92515579 997 $aUNINA
