My second residency this year, after the fellowship at the Bogliasco Foundation<\/a> in January, is in Rome. I\u2019m spending the month of April at the Casa delle Traduzioni<\/a>, working on a terribly difficult and terribly entertaining book by Gianni Rodari<\/a> to be published by Editorial Juventud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m enjoying my time here tremendously, translating a lot and in good company. And of course the highlight of it all was attending the big tribute to Andrea Camilleri at the Casa del Cinema<\/a> in Villa Borghese, a few days ago. The Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia<\/a> presented the latest issue of a Bianco e Nero<\/a> magazine, dedicated to Il Maestro, who taught at the Centro in the fifties and sixties. And among the many texts of friends, former students and experts on the work of Camilleri there is a little article by me! I talk about the translation into Spanish of the last case of Inspector Montalbano, to be published by Ediciones Salamandra<\/a>. You can read it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
