Giovanni Testori
Giovanni Testori was an Italian writer, playwright, art historian and literary critic. His literary works are characterised by linguistic experimentalism, featuring both lexicon and syntax that mix and fuse elements of the Lombard dialect with French and English. Religion is present in his oeuvre as a tragic tension to transcendence, marked by doubt, blasphemy and repentance.
In 1972 he founded with Franco Parenti, Andrée Ruth Shammah, Dante Isella and Gian Maurizio Fercioni the theatreIl Salone Pier Lombardo, next called Franco Parenti Theatre.
