New to me, a 376-page 2022 Italian bio-book on Lovecraft that’s not a translation of Joshi.

It’s not a complete life, which would require 3,500 not 350 pages, but instead focusses on the childhood and the death…

With this volume, edited by Pietro Guarriello, we have tried to look more deeply into these two aspects, the most hidden, of Lovecraft’s life: his childhood and his death, essential phases to understand how he developed his philosophical though and then his mature thought. We therefore find collected here a series of biographical materials, some of which are truly rarities, documenting those still rather elusive years of HPL’s life. Between testimonies of those who knew him as a young man and critical writings by major specialists, aspects of Lovecraft as a man are reconstructed which will not fail to illuminate and surprise, but also to move. These testimonies range through the memories and tributes of his friends in Weird Tales, or the reconstruction of his last harrowing days in hospital which also saw him draw up an infamous Death Diary, translated here for the first time in Italy. All documents have been meticulously annotated by the editor, and are important to understanding who Howard Phillips Lovecraft was and why he wrote what he wrote. As Gianfranco de Turris underlines in his Preface, “this is not a picky snooping, but a sincere interest in details, even minor and minimal, of a life which deserves to be investigated to fully understand this personality who endlessly fascinates us.”” (Auto-translation, tweaked for sense in English).

Well-illustrated, according to the blurb.
