The Profile

Alberto Moravia (born Alberto Pincherle, 1907–1990) was an Italian novelist and essayist known for stark prose and examinations of bourgeois society, indifference and existential malaise.

Moravia published his first major novel in 1929 and remained a central figure in 20th-century Italian letters; several of his novels (including Il disprezzo) were adapted for film. He contributed to the short film Colpa del sole, discussed in the DeBaser review.

Two DeBaser reviews examine Moravia's short film Colpa del sole and the novel Il disprezzo. The short is described as a six-minute cinematic experiment tied to the Documento mensile project; the novel is read as a portrait of bourgeois apathy and failed intimacy. Reviews emphasize style, social observation, and film-literature connections.
