Autorenporträt
Pietro Corsi was born in the region of Molise (Italy) in 1937. During the mid-50's he moved to Rome, where he worked as a translator while co-creating radio programs for RAI, the official Italian radio organization. He was visiting Canada in 1959, when he was offered a job by the Italian weekly newspaper 'Il Cittadino Canadese'. During that time, he wrote his first work of fiction (La Giobba, Enne; in English Winter in Montreal, Guernica, the G.B. Bressani Prize of 2002). He later changed venue, effectively pioneering Italian service standards in the cruise industry. Promoted Operating Manager for Princess Cruises, of Love Boat fame, he established residence in California in 1969. He was covering the position of Executive Vice President in 1992, when he retired to resume his writing career. He has authored several books ranging from fiction to essays, cookbooks and training manuals for the cruise industry.
