The Profile

Sebastiano Vassalli (1941–2015) was an Italian novelist and essayist, widely known for La chimera and for historically grounded narratives often set in northern Italy.

Italian author active from the 1960s to 2015; best known for La chimera; wrote historical and contemporary fiction with clear, incisive prose.

Three reviews dig into Vassalli’s range: a theological-political riff in La notte del lupo, a sharp and humane portrait of Casanova in Dux, and the choral tapestry of Cuore di pietra. Themes include power, faith, class, and the pull of politics. The reviewer praises Vassalli’s clear, Calvino-like prose, with enthusiasm peaking on Dux.
