William Fense Weaver (24 July 1923 – 12 November 2013)[1] was an English language translator of modern Italian literature.[2]
Weaver was best known for his translations of the work of Umberto Eco, Primo Levi, and Italo Calvino,[3] but translated many other Italian authors over the course of a career that spanned more than fifty years. In addition to prose, he translated Italian poetry and opera libretti, and worked as a critic and commentator on the Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts.
