Vittorio Orsenigo (born 5 August 1926) is an Italian short story writer, novelist and theatre director.
In 1950 Orsenigo started working at Piccolo Teatro di Milano thanks to its director Paolo Grassi.
But remain the fact that writing for true writers always turns around few obsessions: Quasimodo got a Nobel Prize and disappeared.
[6] In 2008, Orsenigo was already 83 years old and succeeded to extend his fame with two best-sellers: L'uccellino della radio and La camera d'ambra, the latest published with a preface by Sergio Romano.
He wrote about places where he used to live: Milan during the Second World War (Commedianti a Milano, L'uccellino della radio), mountains and woods (Il pizzini di amblar) and exotic lands (Una camera tutta d'ambra, Tanti viaggi).
Daniela Marcheschi noted that Orsenigo is "Bizzar and digressive following a humoristic tradition that, through Porta and Rajberti, had prosperous developments in Milan's culture and in the Italian literature of the XIX century afterwords".
