From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ofelia Giudicissi Curci (1934–1981) was an Italian poet[1] and archeologist.[2][3]

Life[edit]

Ofelia was born in the Arbëreshë populated Pallagorio, a settlement near Crotone, in Calabria,[4] southern Italy on 11 May 1934.
She published her first poetry in a volume called Pallagorio (published by Arti Grafiche Pedanesi, Rome) in 1964. Fifteen years after she died (13 September 1981), her husband and sons published a collection of her poetry together with a photo album. In October 1996, Momenti di un profilo meridionale ("Moments of a southern profile") was published post-mortum in Florence by publishing house "Parretti Grafiche".[5]
She worked also in the field of archaeology, mostly on the terrain of her native area, and performed a research on the etymology of her town Pallagorio.[2]
