Arturo Farinelli (born March 30, 1867 in Intra ; † April 21, 1948 in Turin ) was an Italian Romance studies , Hispanic, German studies and comparative literary scholar.

life and work

Farinelli studied at the University of Zurich with Heinrich Morf and in Paris with Gaston Paris . He received his doctorate in Zurich in 1892 with The Relationship between Spain and Germany in the Literature of the Two Countries . Part I: up to the 18th century (A. Haack, Berlin 1892). From 1892 to 1896 he was a French and Italian teacher at the commercial academy in Innsbruck. In 1896 he completed his habilitation in Graz with Hugo Schuchardt on La poetica di Ignazio Luzan e le censure del dramma spagnolo and taught in Innsbruck as a private lecturer . In 1901 he was appointed full professor for Romance literary history at the University of Innsbruck , but from 1904 (the year in which the differences over the opening of the Italian law faculty reached their climax) to 1907 he was given a forced leave due to the de-Italianisation of the university. In 1907 he went to Turin as a professor of German studies . From 1931 to 1936 he headed the Petrarca House in Cologne and in 1938 became an honorary senator of the University of Cologne . Farinelli, who had wide-ranging literary-historical interests, left behind an extensive body of work, which for the most part belongs to comparative literary studies.

Since 1934 he was a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences . In 1941 he took part in the " European Poets 'Meeting " organized by the National Socialist German cultural propaganda in Weimar , and in 1942 he was vice-president of the European Writers' Association .
