Amelia Rosselli

Amelia Rosselli (28 March 1930 – 11 February 1996) was an Italian poet, musician, and musicologist close to John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Rosselli was the daughter of Marion Catherine Cave, an English political activist, and Carlo Rosselli, a hero of the Italian anti-Fascist Resistance—founder, with his brother Nello, of the liberal socialist movement Justice and Liberty.

He and his brother were assassinated by La Cagoule, secret services of the Fascist regime, while the extended family was living in exile in France in 1937.

Her extraordinary, highly experimental literature-output includes verse and poetic prose in English and French, as well as Italian.
