Fabrizia Ramondino (1936–2008) was an Italian author who has many works "which includes and crosses the boundaries between poetry, novels, plays, travelogues, memoirs, confession, self-reflection, anthropological, cultural and linguistic comment" according to Adalgisa Giorgio, who has conducted research of Ramondino's life and works.

[1] Fabrizia Ramondino was born in Naples in 1936 and moved to the island of Majorca that same year[2] after her father was named Italian consul.

During her time in Naples, Ramondino volunteered as a teacher at the Associazione Risveglio Napoli school.

She was a political and social activist for Centro di Coordinamento Campano, "a small organisation of the new left which worked primarily with the urban unemployed and poor agricultural labourers".

Ramondino worked with Mario Martone on the 1992 film Morte di un matematico napoletano.

Not only does she have the setting of her novels and stories in Naples, but she "placed [herself] in the position of partial outsider(s) to the culture and languages".

[5] By doing so, she sets her work apart and allows herself to observe the "mores of the middle and upper bourgeoisie, with the class consciousness of a materialist" [5] and making her "an exile in her own homeland".
