In commemoration of the 26th anniversary of the death of Gennaro Manna (1922-1990), one of Italy鈥檚 leading novelists and poets, Sandro Sticca, professor of French and comparative literature, was interviewed by the literary critic Simone Gambacorta. The interview was published on Thursday, Jan. 7, in the Cultura section of the newspaper La Citt脿 of Teramo (Abruzzo), Italy. A widely acclaimed post-war poet and novelist who committed suicide in Rome on April 11, 1990, Manna was the author of eight novels. In 1979, he wrote his famous essay Tramonto Della civilt脿 Contadina, which received the Premio Nuovo Mezzogiorno.
Sticca is considered the leading authority on Manna, and has written three books on his work: Arte e esistenza in Gennaro Manna (1993), Manna tra vita e narrative (1998) and a book on his poetry, Lo poesia di Gennaro Manna: il Verbo del Sacro e dell鈥橝ssurdo (2009). Sticca鈥檚 interest in Manna is both affective 鈥 he, like Manna, was born in the town of Tocco Casauria (Abruzzo, Italy) 鈥 and aesthetic.
For his work on Manna, Sticca received the Onore alla Carriera award from the Hon. Publio Fiori, vice president of Italy鈥檚 House, on May 27, 2004. The Cultural Councillorship of the Province of Rome, in the Altemps Place, also awarded Sticca the prestigious Premio Fiore di Roccia, first prize for his critical work on Manna in December, 1968. In a moving ceremony, Sticca received the award directly from Anna Manna, the writer鈥檚 oldest child. In his essay, Gambacorta refers to Sticca as 鈥渋l Massimo esperto鈥 of Manna.
Sticca is presently writing a book on Manna and Cesare Pavese (1908-1950). Pavese was Manna鈥檚 favorite writer, and also committed suicide on Aug. 27, 1950. The title of Sticca鈥檚 book is Cesare Pavese e Gennaro Manna: la Tragica Ricerca del Mistero Metafisico.
