Eduardo De Filippo Author

Eduardo De Filippo (1900-1984) is one of Italy's most prolific and respected playwrights of the 20th Century, so highly regarded in his native land that shortly before his death in the 1980s he was made a life senator of the Italian Republic. His best known works include Napoli Milionaria, Filumena and Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
