Antonio Elio Borme

Antonio Elio Borme was born into an Italian family at Rovinij (now Croatia) in 1935. At a very young age, he was predisposed to music, a precocious avocation, unfortunately not encouraged by his parents. He spent his youth in Italy, in Desenzano on the Lake of Garda and in Rome where he studied medicine. He graduated from medical school in 1960, was married in 1962, and has two sons who live in the United States. His life was always dedicated to literature and humanity studies, with emphasis on the great Italian and Greek classics. He pursued the medical profession as a surgeon in Italy, England, Canada, and the United States. Today, he has become a full-time writer. My Dear Clochard is already being published in Italy as well as a few earlier works, which will also be published in France. This work, besides lending a voice to the less privileged of society, is also a token reminder; it chronicles a time when history was not made by gladiators-the common trait symbolizing the fall of an empire-but by leaders. Elio Borme has a number of literary projects, such as a new version of Virgil's Aeneid. He lives in Dallas, Texas, with his second wife.
