Vitaliano Trevisan (12 December 1960 – 7 January 2022) was an Italian writer, playwright, and actor.
Life and career
[edit]After having done different jobs, including surveyor, laborer and ice cream man, Trevisan debuted as a writer in the late 1990s and had breakthrough with the novel I quindicimila passi ("The fifteen thousand steps"), which won the Campiello Europa Award and the Premio Lo Straniero.[1][2] In the following years he also had a busy career as a playwright, and among his major stage works there were Il lavoro rende liberi ("Work sets you free") staged by Toni Servillo and Giulietta, an adaptation of a short story of Federico Fellini.[1][2] He was also active in television and cinema, notably collaborating with Matteo Garrone as a screenwriter and an actor in First Love.[1]
Death
[edit]Trevisan died in Crespadoro on 7 January 2022, at the age of 61. His death, apparently caused by a medicine overdose, was ruled as a suicide. He left a suicide note, in which he wrote among other things "I am exhausted and I can't take it anymore", and "nobody must feel responsible as nobody could have done anything".[3]
