Salvatore Satta (1902–1975) was an Italian jurist and professor of civil procedure who authored the posthumously published novel Il giorno del giudizio.

Born in Nuoro, Sardinia (1902). Professor and scholar of civil procedure. Best known for Il giorno del giudizio, published posthumously (first edition 1977). Died 1975.

Two DeBaser reviews discuss Salvatore Satta's Il giorno del giudizio, focusing on mortality, memory and Nuoro's provincial life. One review highly praises its universality; the other reads it as a personal testament of a jurist-turned-writer.

For:Readers of literary fiction, students of Italian literature, and those interested in themes of death and memory.

 «That mysterious thing I told you about is the story of my family, which is the story of Nuoro and Sardinia. So far, I have written three chapters. [...] I will send them to you, and you will be the only one to see them. You will tell me if it is worth continuing: since the work, if ever finished, is certainly not destined for publication. It's not of this world».

 Even when they seem to speak of life, and the living, few books describe Death, and its immanence, better than "Il giorno del giudizio" by Salvatore Satta (1902-1975).
