Capuana, Luigi

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Capuana, Luigi (1839-1915)

Italian writer. He was at his best as a storyteller and novelist, particularly when dealing with the world of his infancy and youth. Among these works are Giacinta (1879), Il marchese di Roccaverdina (1901), and two collections of Sicilian fairy tales. As a critic he is best known for Gli ismi contemporanei (1898).

He advocated a realistic and impersonal art, and his works are of an almost scientific objectivity. He also wrote several plays in the Sicilian dialect.
