Pier Vittorio Tondelli (14 September 1955 – 16 December 1991) was an Italian writer who wrote a small but influential body of work. He was born in Correggio, a small town in the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy and died in nearby Reggio Emilia because of AIDS. Tondelli enjoyed modest success as a writer but often encountered trouble with censors for his use of homosexual themes in his works.[1] Tondelli was buried in a small cemetery in the hamlet of Canolo, just outside Correggio.[2]
