He spent much of his childhood in the countryside, where he attended primary school only rarely but came into daily contact with Friulian peasant life. The influence of his grandfather, a retired schoolmaster with a strong literary bent, and his grandmother, a practicing midwife steeped in local folklore, formed the basis of his love of literature and his reverence for ancient peasant traditions.
He has written a number of novels in the dialect of Friuli, as well as twelve novels and numerous short stories in Italian. His fiction has been translated into French, Spanish, Finnish, Ger ...more

“Pensò che forse non era possibile vivere senza tradire o deludere ogni momento qualcuno. Ogni giorno bisognava abbandonare qualcosa. Ogni momento la vita lo metteva nella necessità di scegliere tra strade diverse, e si sentiva in colpa in qualche modo verso tutto ciò che trascurava.”
― Carlo Sgorlon, La carrozza di rame
