Panzini - Panzini (English spelling) Alfredo Panzini

Japanese: パンツィーニ - ぱんつぃーに（英語表記）Alfredo Panzini

Italian novelist and critic. A student of Carducci. As a conservative classicist living in a transitional era, he gained popularity by expressing his distrust of modern society and his yearning for the idyllic world of the past in elegant, satirical prose. In his later years, under the rule of Fascism, he was appointed a member of the Academy of Fine Arts. His most famous work is "The Lamp of Diogenes" (1907), a diary-style account of his experiences during a bicycle trip, interwoven with criticism of civilization.
