Antonio Moresco (born 30 October 1947 in Mantua) is an Italian writer.

Contents

Defined as one of the founding fathers of a new line of Italian literature that moves beyond post-modernity, and likened to Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon, he has been described by Roberto Saviano as "a literary patrimony".

His first publications appeared late in his career, after he had been turned down by several editors. His output is centred on the monumental trilogy L'increato, whose three volumes are: Gli esordi (Feltrinelli 1998, republished by Mondadori in 2011 – 673 pages), Canti del caos (part 1 by Feltrinelli in 2001, part 2 by Rizzoli in 2003; republished by Mondadori in 2009 – 1072 pages), and Gli increati (Mondadori 2015).
