Orsola Nemi

Orsola Nemi (born Flora Vezzani; 11 June 1903 – 8 February 1985) was an Italian writer and translator.

Biography edit

As a girl, Nemi moved to La Spezia with her father, an infantry officer. He died on the Karst Plateau on October 15, 1915. At three years of age, Nemi fell ill with poliomyelitis. She survived but was marked by the disease for the rest of her life.

Henry Furst, a celebrated United States writer transferred to Italy to work for the New York Times. Nemi and he fell in love and were married. After meeting Furst, he helped to launch her literary career. Nemi met the editor Eugenio Montale, who published her poetry in the Letteratura  [it] review. From her publications, she was assigned to collaborate on the enormous Dizionario delle Opere e dei Personaggi. She also collaborated with writer Leo Longanesi and translated for him many French authors, including Alexis de Tocqueville, Honoré de Balzac, and one work by Gustave Flaubert.[1]

Nemi's career stretched from the 1930s to the 1980s. She wrote novels, short stories, fables, essays, and prayers and wrote for publications like Gazzetta del Popolo, Il Messaggero, L'Osservatore Romano, Il Tempo, and Il Borghese.[2] She also wrote for the theater: in 1961, she wrote Camicie Rosse to celebrate the centenary of the Proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy.

After the death of her husband in 1967, she composed Il meglio di Henry Furst in his honor. In 1972, Nemi wrote the pamphlet I Cristiani Dimezzati, in which she criticized the modernism of the Catholic church after the Second Vatican Council. In 1980, she finished a work she had begun with Furst: a biography of Catherine de' Medici.

Name edit

Nemi's birthname was Flora Vezzani. Her pen name, Orsola Nemi, is derived from the day that her father died, October 15, 1915, which is dedicated to Sant'Orsola. The second half of her name is an abbreviation for the Latin word "Nemini" (lit.'of no one'), to symbolize her shy and independent nature.[3]
