Amedeo Benedetti (born September 22, 1954, Fivizzano - Tuscany) is an Italian scholar and writer.

Life

He graduated in Classical Literature, in History and in Philosophy at the University of Genoa. Later he became literature and history teacher in a High School, an activity he continues to this day.

Benedetti spent more time writing. He has written essays on the language of important international characters, such as Silvio Berlusconi, Henry Kissinger, and Pope Benedict XVI alias Joseph Ratzinger.

His numerous studies about language have helped to promote an awareness in Italy of officialese, journalese, legalese, medical jargon, pidgin, political jargon, and of terrorist organisations (Red Brigades).[1]

He further is an essayist and columnist for many journals, as “Lettere italiane”, “Esperienze letterarie”, “Otto/Novecento”, “Rivista di Studi Politici Internazionali”, “Critica letteraria”, and others.
