The Greek-Italian Hellenist Mario Vitti died in Rome at the age of 96, protothema.gr reports.

He was active until the last day of his life.

A top scholar of the Greek language, a close friend of Odysseus Elytis, Mikis Theodorakis, and many other Greek writers and artists, he had published in Italy his much-translated work History of Modern Greek Literature and had taught modern Greek for many years at the University of Tusia, in central Italy.

Recently, the chair of modern Greek studies at the University of Rome dedicated to him the Observatory of the Laboratory for the Greek Language.
