Giulia Scappino Murena (1902 – 1967 or 1970s) was an Italian poet of religious themes nominated three times for the Nobel Prize.[1][2]

Biography

Giulia Scappino Murena was born in 1902. She was married to the businessman Domenico Scappino, founder of the Scappino, a luxury fashion house in Turin, Italy.[3] Together they had two children: Giuliana, a film producer and wife of director Sergio Capogna, and Carlo, an economist.

In 1959, Scappino published Il poema di Gesù ("The Poem of Jesus")[4] for which she was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize in Literature by Accademia dei Lincei member Alfredo Galletti in 1961 and 1962.[3][1] During the same years, member of the Italian Parliament Ugo Redano nominated her for the Nobel Peace Prize "in the hope that her voice, singing about human brotherhood, will become a sign of harmony for the divided humanity."[2]

Scappino died in the 1970s (or probably 1967) in Riccione, Rimini, Italy.[3]
