Untitled

Some admin or wikimagician, help fix this page. It seems to have been recorded in the database twice (two links to it appear in each of its category pages) and, though there are a couple of articles linking to it, they don't appear in its "what links here" page. Thanks. RodC 10:13, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Repaired. -- Cyrius|✎ 20:11, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Let's wait for the links to show up. RodC

Added missing works, using the Einaudi complete edition of CP - 1968. This has no dates for any of his works! Corrected mistranslation of 'i fal�' found in the Penguin Edition. Bonfires is plural. --Paw42 14:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Added all the information I could find about his works - except translations. I've added the years from an 1970 edition of his Racconti. I am not sure what kind of works some of them are. Where is the famous - Tra Donne Sole? Perhaps one of the books is another collection of novellas?

Date of suicide

Maybe 27 August 1950 as shown, or maybe a day earlier as in the Burckhart or some other biography of Pavese.99.55.167.132 (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2012 (UTC)Ozzie Maland[reply]

Please add in a note to this effect if you can reference it from a solid biography. Thanks Span (talk) 17:58, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to Carlo Ginzburg

Article says he was father of Carlo Ginzburg. Perhaps "stepfather" would be more accurate? 174.24.42.61 (talk) 15:51, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Role of Tina Pizzard0 & depression

The role of Tina Pizzardo should be mentioned. She was the woman he loved from 1930 to 1935. She was a Communist. She was also a flirt & loved to have many men in her life. This was hard on Cesare, and he vents his anger at her in his diary. It was because he was receiving letters for her from her political friends that he was arrested in 1935. He was sent into exile and when he returned, Pizzardo didn't want to join him. He was an on/off depressive already and Pizzardo's rejection did a lot of damage, as he had a lot of affection for her. From then on, his journals have many references to suicide. From the book "Cesare Pavese", by Aine O'Healy, 1988, pp1-21.47.232.145.208 (talk) 20:33, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

During WWII

To the chagrin of leftists who write Wikipedia articles, Pavese did not "flee to the hills" to be with the partisans during WWII. He spent the later half of the war living with his sister and brother-in-law in Monferrato, reading and studying. Not far from his home was a monastery and Pavese formed an attachment with some of the priests, and taught courses there. Because of the upheaval of the war, he found solace in the atmosphere of the monastery; he turned to prayer and meditation and participated in the Catholic liturgy while there. His involvement with the Communist Party after the war only increased his despair, as he was incapable of towing the party-line, and was therefore attacked by left-wing critics, including a blistering attack by the leader of the Italian Communist Party, under a pseudonym, in the press in 1950, the year of his suicide.

Instead of coming after those dreaded Wikipedia "leftists", maybe you would like to take a closer look at the actual article. It does not say he fled for the hills to join the partisans. It clearly states that he fled and "took no part in the armed struggle taking place in that area." Your source may provide more helpful details to expand that section but this was a juvenile way to suggest an edit. freshacconci (✉) 01:57, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Parents & siblings

Why is there nothing here about Pavese's family? I don't know how reliable "gini.com" is, but it says Son of Eugenio Pavese and Fiorentina Consolina Mesturini Fiancé of Constance Dowling Ex-partner of Romilda Bollati Brother of Laura Bertilde Pavese and Maria Pavese

The page, on the other hand, only indicates that someone knows his father, like he, was born in Santo Stefano Belbo - and that "the family" spent holidays there, so La Luna is not entirely autobiographical.

And...is that "fiancé" bit an exaggeration of his relationship with Dowling? Captain Puget (talk) 21:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
