Elena Ferrante was born in Naples in 1943.
Of her, therefore, photos have never been published. No one has ever been established who really is. As the fourth cover of each book is quoted, one knows only that she was born in Naples.
Without ever revealing her identity, Elena Ferrante is a well-known writer in Italy and abroad (particularly in the United States, where four of her novels have found the public's favor with the translation of Ann Goldstein, thanks to the publishing house Europa Editions ) and has collected positive reviews.
