Matteo Corradini

As author of many books for children and adults, he also holds workshops on the teaching of the memory of the Shoah in Italy and abroad.

He is curator of the literary festival Scrittorincittà, in Cuneo (Italy), and contributor to Italian newspapers Avvenire and Popotus.

Matteo Corradini’s research on the topic of the Terezin ghetto allowed him to discover original musical instruments and objects from Terezin that have since been put to use by the Pavel Zalud Quartet (founded by Corradini in 2013), and by the Pavel Zalud Orchestra (founded in 2015).

Corradini was the author of the speech read by Sir Ben Kingsley on January 27, 2015, during the ceremony held at Terezin to mark International Holocaust Memorial Day and 70 years since the liberation of Auschwitz.

In recent years, Corradini has worked on events and shows with Abraham Yehoshua, Uri Orlev, Inge Auerbacher, Melvin Burgess and Assaf Gavron.
