>>> Authors who died in 1940 include:

>>> Isaac Babel
>>> Mikhail Bulgakov
>>> Leon Trotsky
>>> Walter Benjamin
>>> Paul Klee

>>> Regarding Italy, we are already preparing a PD Day
>>> celebration revolving around Vito Volterra,
>>> noted mathematician, first president of the National
>>> Research Council and one of the few Italian universities
>>> professor who refused to take the fascist oath of obedience
>>> (just 12 out of 1000 were as brave as Volterra).
