Beppe Costa, the Italian writer, poet and publisher, died on June 10, 2026, at the age of 84.
Born in Catania on August 25, 1941, he came from a poor family but grew up surrounded by books, a background that shaped a literary career spanning poetry, fiction and publishing. His first poetry collection, Una poltrona comoda, appeared in 1970, and his work often returned to themes of love and nonconformity.
