Centro Studi Gadda
Founded on the fiftieth anniversary of Carlo Emilio Gadda’s death, the Centro Studi Gadda promotes the study and dissemination of his work through research projects, cultural initiatives and activities for both scholars and the wider public
Description
Fifty years after his death, Carlo Emilio Gadda (Milan, 1893 – Rome, 1973) is more alive than ever: his work continues to be read, studied and interpreted in Italy and abroad.
Founded by Mariarosa Bricchi, Paola Italia, Giorgio Pinotti and Claudio Vela, the Centro Studi Gadda (CSG) is based at the Department of Musicology and Cultural Heritage of the University of Pavia, on its Cremona campus. The Centre aims to serve as a reference point, a documentation hub and a place for dialogue and exchange, welcoming not only specialists but anyone interested in discovering one of Europe’s most original modernist writers, whose work reshaped the twentieth-century novel.
Alongside its research activities, the Centro Studi Gadda promotes editorial, exhibition, educational and public engagement initiatives that foster a deeper understanding of Gadda’s work and of the profound, often complex relationship between the writer and his native Milan and the wider Lombardy region.
