Primo ---, Italian author (1919-87) (4)

I believe the answer is:

levi

(Other definitions for levi that I've seen before include "Priest of the ancient Jewish Church" , "Primo --, Italian writer and chemist" , "Matthew (NT)" , "Biblical priest" , "OT character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
