What does /lit/ think of the greatest Italian author of XX century?

One of his books has had a recent printing in the U.S which I have temptations of owning. It's one of his novels. One of his fiction books is at my college library. I'm not sure if they are the same one.

I've seen four of his movies and they were good. Two of them were alright, one of them was really really good (a masterpeice?) and one of them was a masterpeice

Alright: The Decameron, Salo
Really good (my favorite): THE CANTERBURY TALES
Masterpiece: ARABIAN NIGHTS

I own these on Blu-Ray.

mediocre at best - celebrated only from leftist politicians

Good, but in no way the greatest.
Also leftists don't understand him usually.

That's not Carlo Levi.

Interesting guy desu. Italian cinema is probably my favourite national cinema.

I've been exploring 19th century Italian literature of late, but once I get tired of that I may move forward

Well, probably I was a little too extreme, but many leftist tend to trivialize him
