Alberto Savinio, pseudonym of Andrea Francesco Alberto de Chirico (Athens, 1891 - Rome, 1952)
The Italian writer, painter, playwright and composer, Alberto Savinio, as well as brother of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico, chose his stage name in 1914 when he published Les chants de la mi-mort in the magazine Les Soirées de Paris. He returned permanently to Italy in 1933, thus he collaborated with the newspaper "La Stampa" with a column, "Guard tower" (1934-1940). From 1934 he moved to Rome. In 1938, André Breton included him (the only Italian) in the Anthologie de l'humour noir. In the capital he collaborated at the Leo Longanesi's weekly Omnibus, for which he wrote in 1939 a piece of satire on Leopardi's gluttony (Leopardi's sorbet) which cost him the antipathies of the fascist regime.

Alberto Savinio

He was well-known as the younger brother of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico. His works were more focused on philosophical and psychological features and are inspired by them, as he was also interested in the philosophy of art. According to the art historian Jean Clair, the artworks of Savinio and Giorgio de Chirico were the base of both the surrealist movement and magic realism. He died on May 5, 1952, in Rome.
