~Artist’s Profile~
My long and exciting life is nearing its end.
Soon I shall bid farewell to all this. To all and sundry.
A tutti ed a ciascuno. Tae ane and au’.
But at the close of my day, there is still a thrilling experience to be lived.
A bonny lass will come, kiss me fondly and deeply as no other woman ever kissed me, and take me away with her in the land of nowhere.
The land I’ve come from so many years ago, where gladly I’ll go back to lay doon and rest.


Name: Cesare A. DeSilvestri-Camster                        City and State: Rome, Italy
Born in 1926 of Tuscan and Scottish parents, he was 17 when WWII was nearing its end. Called to arms by Fascist Italy, he dodged the draft in order to avoid armed combat in a fight that tore his conflicting origins apart, and co-operated with the British and American Intelligence. After the war, he graduated in Medicine and is now practicing in Rome as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist. While studying in Italy, Britain, the United States and other countries, he contributed to various Italian and foreign newspapers and magazines and became a member of the Italian Professional Guild of Freelance Journalists. He was also English language editor for the leading Italian News Agency (ANSA) and is responsible for the translation into Italian of several books from English and French.

Cesare D. is his pen name for most of his literary works in Italian and English (novels, short stories, poetry and other writings).
