Later life and work :
Vittorini's passing in 1966 enormously influenced Calvino. He experienced what he called a "scholarly gloom", which the author himself depicted as an imperative section in his life: "...I stopped to be youthful. Maybe it's a metabolic procedure, something that accompanies age, I'd been youthful for quite a while, maybe too long, abruptly I felt that I needed to start my maturity, indeed, seniority, maybe with the expectation of delaying it by starting it early."
In the maturing environment that developed into 1968's social transformation (the French May), he moved with his family to Paris in 1967, setting up home in a manor in the Square de Châtillon. Nicknamed L'ironique amusé, he was welcomed by Raymond Queneau in 1968 to join the Oulipo (Ouvroir de littérature potentielle) gathering of test essayists where he met Roland Barthes, Georges Perec, and Claude Lévi-Strauss, every one of whom affected his later creation. That same year, he turned down the Viareggio Prize for Ti con zero (Time and the Hunter) in light of the fact that it was a honor given by "organizations discharged of importance". He acknowledged, in any case, both the Asti Prize and the Feltrinelli Prize for his writing in 1970 and 1972, separately. In two personal papers distributed in 1962 and 1970, Calvino portrayed himself as "skeptic" and his viewpoint as "non-religious".
