Amelia Pincherle Rosselli (16 January 1870 – 26 December 1954) was an Italian writer.[1]
The daughter of Giacomo Pincherle Moravia and Emilia Capon, she was born Amelia Pincherle Moravia in Venice. Her family were wealthy non-practising Jews. Her nephew Alberto Moravia was also a writer.[2][1][3]
She married Giuseppe Emanuele "Joe" Rosselli (1867–1911) in 1892. The couple had three sons; her sons Carlo and Nello became an anti-fascist activists.[2] The couple moved to Vienna where her husband continued his studies in music. Her play Anima, staged in Turin in 1898, won a literary prize. The family moved to Rome and then Florence. The couple separated in 1903.[2]
Her son Aldo was killed during World War I. Her other two sons, Carlo and Nello, were exiled because they were opposed to fascism; they were later assassinated in 1937. Rosselli exiled herself from Italy, moving to Switzerland, England and the United States. She returned to Italy in 1946.[3]
She died in Florence at the age of 84.[1] Her granddaughter Amelia Rosselli became a poet.[2]
