Piazza d'Italia is the 1975 debut novel of the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi. It is a short picaresque novel that spans from the Italian unification to the fascist era and follows Volturno Banarchist, a rebel and occasional clairvoyant. It was first published by Bompiani.[1][2][3]
The scholar Rocco Capozzi describes Banarchist as the model for the type of socially conscious protagonist that would recur throughout Tabucchi's literary career.[4]
