Arturo Vivante (October 17, 1923 in Rome – April 1, 2008 in Wellfleet, Massachusetts) was an Italian American fiction writer.
The family fled to England in 1938, anticipating the war and the fascist government's anti-Semitic policies (Leone was Jewish).
The British sent Arturo to an internment camp in Canada while his family remained in England for the duration of the war.
[2][7] After publication of his final book in 2006, he retired and lived in Wellfleet, Massachusetts until his death two years later.
His fiction often drew from autobiographical experiences with attention to the subtlest details of reflective observation.
