Antonio Fogazzaro
Antonio Fogazzaro (born March 25, 1842 in Vicenza , † March 7, 1911 ibid) was an Italian writer .
Coming from a well-to-do family, he received his doctorate in law in Turin in 1864 . In Milan he attended the Scapigliatura movement . In 1869 he returned to Vicenza and worked as a lawyer. He soon left this profession to devote himself entirely to literature. He was a member of the Accademia Roveretana degli Agiati .
In his works one notices a constant tension between duty and passions, faith and reason.
Fogazzaro found new means of interpretation in the theories of positivism and evolutionism. The Catholic Church placed his works Il santo and Leila on the Librorum Prohibitorum index in 1905 and 1911, respectively .
