| biography:
| Writer, born in Oneglia, Liguria, NW Italy. He took part in the Battle of Custoza in 1855 and the taking of Rome in 1870. His first work was a collection of short stories on army life, La vita militare (1868), and after leaving the army began travelling and recounting his trips with much success, in Ricordi di Londra (1874) and Costantinopoli (1878). International acclaim came with the deeply moral Cuore (1886), which combined the diary of a schoolboy with patriotic short stories. His Poesie (1880), with their irony and unassuming tone, anticipated the crepuscolare movement. In 1891 he joined the Socialist Party and became interested in social issues. |
