| biography:
| Writer and journalist, born in Paganica, Abruzzo-Molise, Italy. He was a contributor to La domenica letteraria and Capitan Fracassa and founded the Il Mattino newspaper in 1891, the year he married novelist Matilde Serao. A nationalist, he supported Italy's colonial ventures. His early work, the poems I papaveri (1880), was influenced by Carducci, but his later short stories (Il processo di Frine, 1884) and travel books (Le nostre cose in Africa, 1895) are closer to d'Annunzio. |
