Contemporary Italian Literature and the New Italian

Reading Corriere della Sera we ran across this fascinating blog dedicated to Italian writers whose first language isn't Italian.

"Whether they come from far away or were born in Italy, they live every day going back and forth between worlds and cultures.  nuovitaliani.corriere.it  - is a new blog dedicated to the new Italian. The stories that are told are those of discovery, making friends, and starting over. There is also the search and desire for normality in school, work, language, love.  This blog opens a window to the Italian melting pot that has existed for decades, but which we're only becoming conscious of today."
