Biography
Niccolò Ammaniti was born in Rome and studied Biologic Sciences without ever getting a degree. His first novel, named Branchie, was published by Ediesse in 1994, before its credits were bought by Einaudi in 1997. Allegedly, it was stemming from an adaption of his never completed dissertation. In 1999, Branchie was adapted into a movie with the same title. In 1995 Ammaniti published, together with his father Massimo, the essay Nel nome del figlio. In 1996 he appeared with his sister in the low-budget movie Growing Artichokes in Mimongo.
As a young Italian novelist, he wrote a short novel together with Luisa Brancaccio for the anthology Gioventù Cannibale by Daniele Brolli (1996). In 1996 he also published the collection of short stories Fango.
In 1999 it was published the novel Steal You Away (Ti prendo e ti porto via), and in 2001 he wrote the novel I'm Not Scared (Io non ho paura), winning the 2001 Viareggio Prize. This novel was also adapted into a film version directed by Gabriele Salvatores in 2003,
In 2006, he published As God Commands (Come Dio comanda), winning the Strega Prize. The novel was adapted into a movie, once again by Gabriele Salvatores.
In 2009, he published Let the Games Begin (Che la festa cominci). In 2010, he wrote Me and You (Io e te), which was later adapted into a movie directed by Bernardo Bertolucci.
