I am Ignazio - Italian by birth and considered to be one of the the greatest and most influential political novelists.
My lifespan was 1900-1978. I am of course a stranger to some - but to learn more and understand the real me, please read Fantamara - told in the language of the cafoni - the wretched of the earth.
The original form of Ignazio is unsurprisingly Ignatius - a name which is derived from the latin ignis -
"fire." One should perhaps bear in mind that Ignatius is the name of several saints as well as the third bishop of Antioch who was thrown to wild beasts by emperor Trajan, and by Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), founder of the Jesuits, whose real birth name was in fact Íñigo.
I did of course google this information - but does it make me less worthy - I hope not. (insert holy smiley).
