Biancamaria Frabotta
Biancamaria Frabotta (11 June 1946 – 2 May 2022) was an Italian writer. She promoted the study of women writers in Italy and her early poetry focused on
feminist issues. The main themes of her later works are melancholy, the dichotomy between Nature and History and between Action and Contemplation, the relationship between the body and the self, and conjugal love. Besides essays on
feminism and academic works on poets such as
Giorgio Caproni,
Franco Fortini, and
Amelia Rosselli, she wrote plays, radio-dramas, a television show on
Petrarch, and a novel. Until her retirement in 2016, she taught Modern Italian Literature at the
University of Rome La Sapienza, where she previously received her
Laurea degree.
