Biography

Born in Vicenza into a noble family, Piovene graduated in philosophy in Milan and then devoted himself to journalism, notably collaborating with Corriere della Sera, La Stampa and Il Tempo.[1][2] He took part in the anti-fascist resistance with the Movimento Comunista d'Italia. According to Felice Chilanti's daughter, he wrote the statutes for its youth association COBA (so named in homage to Joseph Stalin's youthful pseudonym).[3]

His 1970 novel Le stelle fredde (The Cold Stars) won the Strega Prize.[1] In 1974 he co-founded the newspaper Il Giornale with Indro Montanelli.[1]
