History
To mark the centenary of the birth of Primo Basso, the University of Lorraine (LIS) and the association Primo Basso, une vie en écriture, are organizing a study day in partnership with the city of Pont-à-Mousson and the Abbey of Prémontrés. Primo Basso, born in Pont-à-Mousson to Italian parents, met American soldiers during the war, studied philosophy and English, and taught at the Poincaré high school in Nancy. An avid traveler, he explored the Mediterranean basin and the Anglo-Saxon world. Novelist, playwright, translator, storyteller, and short story writer, he left a body of work marked by themes of war, immigration, and varied narrative forms. He also wrote for young audiences and worked with schools and on television with "Primo Basso Raconte" on FR3 Nancy.
