Roberto Ferrucci Roberto Ferrucci was born in Venice (Marghera). His first novel, Terra rossa (Transeuropa), was published in 1993, followed by Giocando a pallone sull’acqua (Marsilio, 1999), Andate e ritorni, scorribande a nordest (Amos, 2003), Cosa cambia (Marsilio, 2007; translated into French as Ça change quoi, Seuil, 2010, with a preface by Antonio Tabucchi), and Sentimenti sovversivi/Sentiments subversifs, first published in a bilingual edition in France (2010) and later in Italy by Isbn Edizioni (2011). Other works include Impassibili e maledette (Limina, 2010; Terra Ferma, 2014). An Italian translator of Jean-Philippe Toussaint and Patrick Deville, he has taught Creative Writing at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Padua since 2002. He contributes to Il Corriere della Sera and Il Manifesto. For Feltrinelli, Ferrucci has published Sentimenti decisivi (2012) in the digital Zoom Flash series, later translated into French by Jérôme Nicolas (2013), and Venezia è laguna (2015) in the Zoom Feltrinelli series. He also runs creative writing workshops in Italy and France and directs the Taccuini d’autore series for Helvetia Editrice. His latest work, Il mondo che ha fatto (Nave di Teseo, 2025), is a "memoir built like a novel" dedicated to Daniele Del Giudice.
