Gianni Padoan at Sperlonga (1969)

Giovanni Battista Padoan, known as Gianni Padoan (Velletri, May 28, 1927 - Lecco, April 5, 1995), was an Italian writer and ethologist.

Biography

Padoan published more than one hundred novels translated into dozens of languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Hungarian and Japanese. In 1980 he received the "Golden Book" award for writers who sell one million copies.[1] Among the other prizes, he won three Bancarellini Awards: in 1970 for Robinson dello spazio, in 1979 for La carica delle patate and 1983 for Il branco della rosa canina[2] and two Castello Awards in 1970, for Robinson dello spazio. His novel Tottoi was adapted into the omonymous successful cartoon in Japan. Padoan oversaw the Italian literary adaptation of the episodes of the cult English television series Space: 1999. The UNESCO named him among the top ten children's writers in the world.[3]

Gianni Padoan, who wrote and hosted numerous radio programs and dramas for RAI, the national public broadcasting company of Italy, in his early days collaborated with various newspapers and magazines specializing in history, including Illustrated History and Historia.

He lived for years in tents and caravans, in Greece and in the Abruzzo National Park, where he studied the behavior of wolves. On his biography, on the back cover of one of his latest books, he wrote:

He does not boast of roots and does his utmost not to put any. He has achieved his ideals of life by erasing from his existential reality even 'the house' and all that the 'four walls' involve.
