Autorenporträt

Giancarlo Gabbrielli was born in Florence, Italy and went to school at the Istituto Tecnico Pacinotti of Pisa. Then, after several years with a special department of the Italian Air Force and time with the NASA-USAF training centres, he moved to Canada. After a few years at the University of Winnipeg, he began a commercial activity and contributed editorials and political essays to Italo-Canadian newspapers. He also wrote novels with historical content and he has now published 13 books in English and Italian. Of these, 6 are part of the semi-autobiographical "THE LANZI SAGA", 2 are collection of short stories, 3 are love stories and 2 relate to the political and military struggle of Italy in the period of 1943-1945. The ForeWord Clarion Review wrote that, in the Lanzis saga, "Giancarlo Gabbrielli has captured the noise and stench of war, the devastation of the land, the struggle for basic survival that can forever mark those who endure it. By taking readers into the mind and heart of a young, observant child, and by including sympathetic characters in both sides of the conflict, the author has made a powerful statement against the obscenity of war."
