須賀 敦子（atsuko suga）- 随筆家、イタリア文学者

須賀敦子（1929–1998）は、日本の随筆家、イタリア文学者、翻訳家。聖心女子大学卒業後、パリとローマに留学し、のちにミラノで暮らしながら、日本文学のイタリア語訳やイタリア文学の日本への紹介に携わった。イタリア人の夫ジュゼッペ・リッカの死後に帰国し、大学でイタリア文学を教えるかたわら、50代半ばから自身の体験をもとに文章を書き始めた。最初の著書『ミラノ 霧の風景』で講談社エッセイ賞と女流文学賞を受賞。同書では、戦後のミラノで出会った夫やコルシア書店の仲間たち、異国での生活と別れを、現在の日本から過去の街並みを見返すような静かな文章で描いている。

Atsuko Suga (1929–1998) was a Japanese essayist, scholar of Italian literature, and translator. After graduating from the University of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, she studied in Paris and Rome and later settled in Milan, where she helped translate Japanese literature into Italian and introduce Italian writers to Japanese readers. Following the death of her Italian husband, Giuseppe Ricca, she returned to Japan, taught Italian literature, and began publishing essays based on her European years in her mid-fifties. Her first book, “Milano Kiri no Fukei,” received both the Kodansha Essay Award and the Women’s Literature Prize. The collection recalls her husband, the circle surrounding the Corsia dei Servi bookstore, and the streets of postwar Milan, viewing a life of friendship, displacement, and loss through the distance of later years in Japan.
