MALAPARTE, ENGLISHMEN AND OTHERS
International Seminar
What was Curzio Malaparte’s relationship with England? And how did British culture, people and history shape one of Italy’s most provocative and fascinating writers of the 20th century?
Join us for an international seminar exploring Malaparte’s little-known connections with England, from his 1933 correspondence for the Corriere della Sera to unpublished letters exchanged with prominent British figures.
30 September 2026
6 pm
Italian Cultural Institute London, new venue (4–5 Buckingham Gate, London SW1E 6JP)
Featuring scholars from the UK, Italy and France, the evening will explore Malaparte’s writings, friendships, correspondence and representations of English culture — offering new perspectives on the author of Kaputt and The Skin.
The programme will culminate in “Malaparte as Imaginary Interlocutor”, a conversation with poet and scholar Alex Houen, author of Malapartings.
The event will be held in English and Italian, with simultaneous interpretation into English.
