About
Giovannino Oliviero Giuseppe Guareschi was born in Roccabianca, Emilia, Italy. He was an Italian journalist, cartoonist, humorist, and writer whose most famous creation is the priest Don Camillo. After working at various minor jobs, he started to write for a local newspaper, the Gazzetta di Parma. In 1929 he became editor of the satirical magazine Corriere Emiliano, and from 1936 to 1943 he was the chief editor of a similar magazine called Bertoldo. After the war, he returned to Italy and founded a monarchist weekly satirical magazine, Candido in 1945. He criticized and satirized the Communists in his magazine, famously drawing a Communist as a man with an extra nostril.
