Iakovos Kambanelis or Kampanellis (Greek: Ιάκωβος Καμπανέλλης) (December 2, 1922 - March 29, 2011) was a Greek poet, playwright, lyricist, and novelist.[1] Born 2 December 1922 in Hora in the island of Naxos, Kambanelis appears as one of the most prominent Greek artists of the 20th century. As a survivor of the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, he authored a Mauthausen cantata[1] with music by Mikis Theodorakis[2].
He also authored at least 12 films and he directed two of them. In addition, he was known as a verse writer and for his membership at the board of the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece (MIET – Morfotiko Idryma Ethnikis Trapezis), along with some of the most prominent Greek artists [3]. Iakovos Kambanelis was rushed at hospital on February 4, 2011 due to complications of his long-term kidney failure.[2]
