Niccolò Ammaniti was born in Rome on 25 September 1966. He studied Biological Sciences at university, and though he did not complete his degree, his first novel, Branchie (published by Ediesse in 1994, and then by Einaudi in 1997), drew from his unfinished dissertation. In 1999, Branchie was adapted into a movie with the same title. In 1995, Ammaniti and his father Massimo published the essay Nel nome del figlio. In 1996, he appeared with his sister in the low-budget movie Growing Artichokes in Mimongo. A short novel written with Luisa Brancaccio for the anthology Gioventù Cannibale edited by Daniele Brolli came out in 1996, as did a collection of short stories, Fango. Fango was shortlisted as a finalist work at the 1997 Premio Nazionale di Narrativa Bergamo. In 1999, Ammaniti published the novel Steal You Away (Ti prendo e ti porto via), followed by the 2001 I'm Not Scared (Io non ho paura), which won the 2001 Viareggio Prize and was adapted into a film directed by Gabriele Salvatores in 2003.
