Giorgio Pressburger (Budapest, 21 April 1937 – Trieste, 5 October 2017) was a Hungarian-born Italian writer, journalist, playwright and director, one of the most significant figures in the cultural panorama of the 20th century. A borderless Central European intellectual, with a strong innovative spirit, son and protagonist of the great upheavals of the 20th century, whose scars were evident. A long journey that starts from the Eighth district of Budapest and a personal and family story that magically manages to intertwine with the memory of the century, evoking its stories, violence, art and passions.
