Annie Lami was an Italian literary translator, "a prolific translator of Anglo-American novels and short stories".[1]
Her 1933 translation (with Adriano Lami) of Dubliners into Italian in 193 was "a literary event which passed nearly unnoticed".[2] Lami's translations had to cope with the restrictions imposed by Fascist censorship in Italy.[3]
