Gianna Manzini
Born in Pistoia on 24 March 1896, Gianna Manzini made her literary debut in 1928 with the novel "Tempo innamorato", a work widely praised by critics of the time. After the war, she co-founded the magazine Prosa with Enrico Falqui and wrote about fashion for the Giornale d’Italia, and later for the weekly Oggi. Her final novel, Ritratto in piedi (1971), earned her the prestigious Premio Campiello. In Pirelli magazine, she published "Donne al mare" in 1956 and "Primi versi" in 1961.
