Translating the Italian Element in Riccardo Cavaliere’s Il piccolo regista: Mr Cuore: An Introduction to A Young Director: Mr Heart

Riccardo Cavaliere (1984–) is an emerging Italian writer from Cremona, Lombardy. His writing brings together poetry and prose and takes the reader across time, space and generations. He started writing the novella Il piccolo regista: Mr Cuore (A Young Director: Mr Heart) in Italian twenty years ago, beginning with the poems and adding the prose afterwards. This novella is part of a wider collection centred around family relationships and generations entitled Morale della favola (The Moral of the Story).
