Patrizia Cavalli received the Viareggio Prize in 1999 for her fourth collection, Sempre aperto teatro (Always-Open Theater). She is known for her brief slices of daily (and nightly) life and for combining a classical sense of the poetic line with colloquial language, stripped of poeticisms. Her translations include versions of Othello, The Tempest, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
