# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Edmondo De Amicis was born on 21 October 1846 in Italy and worked across forms: novels, journalism, poetry, short stories. His career spanned the decades after unification, when the country was still inventing itself. The work that outlasted everything else was Heart, a children's novel that became his signature and reached readers far past Italy's borders. He continued writing until his death on 11 March 1908, but that single book carried his name forward.
