Annie Lami was an Italian literary translator, "a prolific translator of Anglo-American novels and short stories".
Her 1933 translation (with Adriano Lami) of Dubliners into Italian in 193 was "a literary event which passed nearly unnoticed". Lami's translations had to cope with the restrictions imposed by Fascist censorship in Italy.Hugh Clayton, 'Mussolini and Mr. Malakite: Further Reflections on the Powys Brothers in Italian', The Powys Journal, Vol. 16 (2006), pp.66-80.
