Biography
Enrico Brizzi built his career on a single breakup story that became a generation-defining hit. Born in Bologna on November 20, 1974, Brizzi is an Italian writer best known for his debut novel *Jack Frusciante Has Left the Band*, which became a cultural touchstone in Italy and earned translation into 24 languages—the only work of his to reach English speakers until the 2024 announcement of a sequel. The novel inspired a 1996 Italian film adaptation. After this breakthrough, Brizzi published *Bastogne*, translated into French, German, and Spanish, followed by five additional novels for major Italian publishers, with the most recent in 2005—*Nessuno lo saprà - Viaggio a piedi dall'Argentario al Conero*, a trekking memoir across Tuscany, Umbria, and the Marches. By the late 1990s he had become one of Italy's most popular authors of his generation; in 1999 he was appointed to Sanremo's prestigious "ten quality judges' board" alongside José Carreras and Ennio Morricone. Beyond novels, Brizzi documented extensive journeys: in 2006 he walked and biked three months from Canterbury to Rome along the Via Francigena, publishing reportage in *L'espresso*, and in 2008 completed a Rome-to-Jerusalem trek documented in the Italian *Condé Nast Traveler*. As a screenwriter, Brizzi works across narrative forms. Born under Scorpio, his life path number is 7.
