The Best Italian Literature
“What are the best Italian Literature books?” We looked at 529 different titles, aggregating and ranking the entries in an attempt to answer that very question!
Welcome to our first entry for our first country of what we hope is a long running series of the best books from around the world. For our first country, we decided to go with Italy. We choose Italy because they have a long interesting history of culture to draw from. It definitely isn’t because we have a trip planned there later this year…
Anyway, we chose 7 different Italy related list ideas, creating entries for all of them.

ON A SMALL ISLAND in the Tyrrhenian Sea there lives a boy as innocent as a seabird. Arturo’s mother is dead; his father away. Black-clad women care for him, give him the freedom to come and go as he likes. Then the father returns with a new wife, Nunziata, a girl barely older than Arturo. At first hatred and contempt are all the boy feels for his stepmother. In time, Arturo and Nunziata re-create the tragedy and passion that are as old as the history of men and women.

Lists It Appears On:
- Rome Is Home
- Goodreads
- Scaruffi
Bored with their work, three Milanese editors cook up “the Plan,” a hoax that connects the medieval Knights Templar with other occult groups from ancient to modern times. This produces a map indicating the geographical point from which all the powers of the earth can be controlled―a point located in Paris, France, at Foucault’s Pendulum. But in a fateful turn the joke becomes all too real, and when occult groups, including Satanists, get wind of the Plan, they go so far as to kill one of the editors in their quest to gain control of the earth.

Lists It Appears On:
- Rick Steves 2
- The Guardian
- Rome Is Home
Goethe’s account of his passage through Italy from 1786 to 1788 is a great travel chronicle as well as a candid self-portrait of a genius in the grip of spiritual crisis.
21 .) Jerusalem Delivered by Torquato Tasso
Lists It Appears On:
- Bartleby
- Italy 101
- Goodreads
Torquato Tasso was a 19th century Italian poet. His most famous poem was La Geruslalemme Liberata. Jerusalem Delivered was written in 1580. This poem is an imaginative version of the fighting between Christian and Muslims in the final months of the First Crusade during the siege of Jerusalem. The poem is in the Italian epic style with strict unity of plot and heightening poetic diction. The action of the epic revolves around Armida, the beautiful witch, sent forth by the infernal senate to sow discord in the Christian camp. Amida’s love of a crusading knight turns her faith to Christianity. The poem is full of adventure, conflict and romance.
20 .) Mastro Don Gesualdo by Giovanni Verga
Lists It Appears On:
- Rome Is Home
- Scaruffi
- Goodreads
It’s the story of a Sicilian peasant who rises to the aristocracy, ruffling feathers at all social levels, and it’s a masterpiece of 19th century realism. Scotland on Sunday D.H. Lawrence’s translation brings to life the Sicily of the 19th century. It will appeal to readers of classic fiction or anyone interested in Sicily.
19 .) My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
Lists It Appears On:
- Tuscan Traveler
- The Local It
- Italian Notes
“A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Ferrante’s inimitable style lends itself perfectly to a meticulous portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching meditation on the nature of friendship.
The story begins in the 1950s, in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow, as their paths repeatedly diverge and converge, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected and refracted in the other. They are likewise the embodiments of a nation undergoing momentous change. Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between her protagonists, the unforgettable Elena and Lila.”
18 .) That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana by Carlo Emilio Gadda
Lists It Appears On:
- Rick Steves 2
- NYRB
- Goodreads
In a large apartment house in central Rome, two crimes are committed within a matter of days: a burglary, in which a good deal of money and precious jewels are taken, and a murder, as a young woman whose husband is out of town is found with her throat cut. Called in to investigate, melancholy Detective Ciccio, a secret admirer of the murdered woman and a friend of her husband’s, discovers that almost everyone in the apartment building is somehow involved in the case, and with each new development the mystery only deepens and broadens. Gadda’s sublimely different detective story presents a scathing picture of fascist Italy while tracking the elusiveness of the truth, the impossibility of proof, and the infinite complexity of the workings of fate, showing how they come into conflict with the demands of justice and love.
17 .) The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino
Lists It Appears On:
- Barnes & Noble
- Italy 101
- Rome Is Home

- Rick Steves 2
- Rick Steves
“Margot Harrington, an American volunteer in Florence, is an expert at book conservancy. While struggling to save a waterlogged convent library, she comes across a fabulous volume of sixteen erotic drawings by Giulio Romano, accompanying sixteen steamy sonnets by Pietro Aretino. When first published over four centuries ago, the Vatican ordered all copies destroyed. This one—now unique—volume has survived.
The abbess prevails upon Margot to save the order’s finances by selling the magnificently illustrated erotica discreetly—meaning without the bishop’s knowledge.”
15 .) The Truce by Primo Levi
Lists It Appears On:
- Goodreads
- Goodreads
- Rome Is Home
With the moral stamina and intellectual poise of a twentieth-century Titan, this slightly built, dutiful, unassuming chemist set out systematically to remember the German hell on earth, steadfastly to think it through, and then to render it comprehensible in lucid, unpretentious prose. He was profoundly in touch with the minutest workings of the most endearing human events and with the most contemptible.
14 .) Confessions of an Italian by Ippolito Nievo
Lists It Appears On:
- Bartleby
- Scaruffi
- Barnes & Noble

13 .) If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino
Lists It Appears On:
- Italy 101
- Rome Is Home
- Goodreads
- Scaruffi
If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.
12 .) Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
Lists It Appears On:
- Goodreads
- Rick Steves 2
- Italy 101
- Rome Is Home
In a garden sit the aged Kublai Khan and the young Marco Polo — Mongol emperor and Venetian traveler. Kublai Khan has sensed the end of his empire coming soon. Marco Polo diverts his host with stories of the cities he has seen in his travels around the empire: cities and memory, cities and desire, cities and designs, cities and the dead, cities and the sky, trading cities, hidden cities. As Marco Polo unspools his tales, the emperor detects these fantastic places are more than they appear.
11 .) The Late Mattia Pascal by Luigi Pirandello
Lists It Appears On:

- Barnes & Noble
- NYRB
- Goodreads
Mattia Pascal endures a life of drudgery in a provincial town. Then, providentially, he discovers that he has been declared dead. Realizing he has a chance to start over, to do it right this time, he moves to a new city, adopts a new name, and a new course of life—only to find that this new existence is as insufferable as the old one. But when he returns to the world he left behind, it’s too late: his job is gone, his wife has remarried. Mattia Pascal’s fate is to live on as the ghost of the man he was.
10 .) The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano
Lists It Appears On:
- Italian Literature
- Scaruffi
- Charming Italy
- Goodreads
A prime number is a lonely thing. It can only be divided by itself or by one, and it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia are both “primes”-misfits haunted by early tragedies. When the two meet as teenagers, they recognize in each other a kindred, damaged spirit. Years later, a chance encounter reunites them and forces a lifetime of concealed emotion to the surface. But can two prime numbers ever find a way to be together? A brilliantly conceived and elegantly written debut novel, The Solitude of Prime Numbers is a stunning meditation on loneliness, love, and what it means to be human.
9 .) Zeno’s Conscience by Italo Svevo
Lists It Appears On:
- Scaruffi
- Barnes & Noble
- Goodreads
- Five Books
Long hailed as a seminal work of modernism in the tradition of Joyce and Kafka, and now available in a supple new English translation, Italo Svevo’s charming and splendidly idiosyncratic novel conducts readers deep into one hilariously hyperactive and endlessly self-deluding mind. The mind in question belongs to Zeno Cosini, a neurotic Italian businessman who is writing his confessions at the behest of his psychiatrist. Here are Zeno’s interminable attempts to quit smoking, his courtship of the beautiful yet unresponsive Ada, his unexpected–and unexpectedly happy–marriage to Ada’s homely sister Augusta, and his affair with a shrill-voiced aspiring singer. Relating these misadventures with wry wit and a perspicacity at once unblinking and compassionate, Zeno’s Conscience is a miracle of psychological realism.
8 .) If This Is a Man by Primo Levi
Lists It Appears On:
- Rome Is Home
- Goodreads
- Balliol
- Goodreads
- Rome Is Home
With the moral stamina and intellectual poise of a twentieth-century Titan, this slightly built, dutiful, unassuming chemist set out systematically to remember the German hell on earth, steadfastly to think it through, and then to render it comprehensible in lucid, unpretentious prose. He was profoundly in touch with the minutest workings of the most endearing human events and with the most contemptible.
7 .) The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni
Lists It Appears On:
- Bartleby
- Scaruffi
- Barnes & Noble
- The Local It
- Goodreads
Set in Lombardy during the Spanish occupation of the late 1620s, The Betrothed tells the story of two young lovers, Renzo and Lucia, prevented from marrying by the petty tyrant Don Rodrigo, who desires Lucia for himself. Forced to flee, they are then cruelly separated, and must face many dangers including plague, famine and imprisonment, and confront a variety of strange characters – the mysterious Nun of Monza, the fiery Father Cristoforo and the sinister ‘Unnamed’ – in their struggle to be reunited. A vigorous portrayal of enduring passion, The Betrothed’s exploration of love, power and faith presents a whirling panorama of seventeenth-century Italian life and is one of the greatest European historical novels.
6 .) The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
Lists It Appears On:
- Rick Steves 2
- Rick Steves
- Italy 101
- Goodreads
- Rome Is Home
“The Divine Comedy is Dante’s record of his visionary journey through the triple realms of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. This, the first ‘epic’ of which its author is the protagonist and his individual imaginings the content, weaves together the three threads of Classical and Christian history; contemporary Medieval politics and religion; and Dante’s own inner life including his love for Beatrice, to create the most complex and highly structured long poem extant.
Through the depths of Hell in the Inferno, and upwards along the mountain of Purgatory in the Purgatorio, Dante is guided by Virgil, the great poet of the Classical Roman Empire, exploring, as he does so, the political, ethical and religious issues of his time. Dante in his own life, and in this epic, represents a ‘party of one’, desirous of purifying the Church on the one hand, and the Holy Roman Empire on the other, yet caught between those two great worldly powers, and turning to literature to make his voice heard.
From the summit of Purgatory, Dante ascends in the Paradiso, guided by Beatrice, into the celestial Paradise, where love, truth and beauty intertwine in his great vision of the Christian revelation. Yet the Commedia is essential reading not merely for Christians, poets, and historians, but for anyone struggling with issues of morality, the ethical framework of society, and the challenge of living the true life.”
5 .) The Garden of the Finzi-Continis by Giorgio Bassani
Lists It Appears On:
- Scaruffi
- Goodreads
- Barnes & Noble
- Rome Is Home

The story of a wealthy, insular Jewish family in Fascist Italy just before the outbreak of World War II.
4 .) The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
Lists It Appears On:
- Scaruffi
- Barnes & Noble
- Italy 101
- Rome Is Home
- Goodreads
The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon—all sharpened to a glistening edge by wry humor and a ferocious curiosity. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey, where “the most interesting things happen at night.”
3 .) Christ Stopped at Eboli by Carlo Levi
Lists It Appears On:
- Barnes & Noble
- The Local It
- Italian Notes
- The Guardian
- Barnes & Noble
- Goodreads
It was to Lucania, a desolate land in southern Italy, that Carlo Levi―a doctor, painter, philosopher, and man of letters―was confined as a political prisoner because of his opposition to Italy’s Fascist government at the start of the Ethiopian war in 1935. While there, Levi reflected on the harsh landscape and its inhabitants, peasants who lived the same lives their ancestors had, constantly fearing black magic and the near presence of death. In so doing, Levi offered a starkly beautiful and moving account of a place and a people living outside the boundaries of progress and time.
2 .) The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio
Lists It Appears On:
- Italy 101
- Scaruffi

- Barnes & Noble
- Goodreads
- Rome Is Home
The Decameron , is a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375). The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city. Boccaccio probably conceived the Decameron after the epidemic of 1348, and completed it by 1353. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence (for example on Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales), it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose.
1 .) The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
Lists It Appears On:
- Rome Is Home
- Rick Steves 2
- Italy 101
- The Local It
- Goodreads
- Italian Notes
- The Guardian
Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time.
