| biography:
| Poet and writer, born in Naples, Campania, SW Italy. A librarian, he wrote short stories (Novelle napolitane, 1914; L'ignoto, 1920) and plays (Malavita, 1889; Assunta Spina, 1911) where the realistic syle of the verismo movement is tempered with sentimental notes. His poems in Neapolitan dialect, such as Sonetti (1883), are noted for the same musicality which can be found in his Ariette e canzoni nove (1916). |
