As a child, Linati spent his holidays in Gravedona , where his mother was from. From 1899 he studied at the Law Faculty of the University of Turin (in Turin he later also studied painting ) and graduated in 1906 from the University of Parma . After returning to Lombardy , he worked as a lawyer in Milan for some time.

Before the First World War he was active as a writer, essayist and traveling journalist. He worked with the Italian Touring Club , on whose behalf he wrote stories about travel and nature discoveries. a. traveled through Europe by car, train, bicycle and the so-called “ultra-slow”. Many of his novels and short stories are set in Lombardy and Insubria .

His debut is due to some allegorical stories such as The Green Court of 1906 and other short stories , one of his favorite genres. In 1909 he wrote a novel entitled Duccio da Bontà , the protagonists of which are two young people who intensely experience their contact with nature. In 1922 Pubertà e altre storie (puberty and other stories) was published, followed in 1926 by Storie di bestie e fantasmi (stories of animals and ghosts).

Linati has written articles for La Stampa , Corriere della Sera , the travel paper Verde e Azzurro and the literary magazines Il Convegno and La Voce . He maintained contacts with Cesare Angelini and Carlo Emilio Gadda . In 1925 he was one of the signatories of Benedetto Croce's manifesto of anti-fascist intellectuals , not for political reasons, but because of the bourgeois rejection of the development of the fascist movement.

Linati was also the author of various prose works and a few radio plays that were first broadcast by EIAR and then by RAI , including the radio play Angeli e colori with music by Arrigo Pedrollo .

translator

In 1913 Linati traveled to Ireland , where he met the new Irish National Theater by John Millington Synge , William Butler Yeats , Lady Gregory and Sean O'Casey . In 1918 he received the first letter from James Joyce with the suggestion of translating one of his short stories. This letter marks the beginning of a great correspondence that only ended with the death of Joyce.

Linati became an important translator of important English authors into Italian, alongside James Joyce also works by Charles Dickens and David Herbert Lawrence . Joyce prepared a scheme for the structure of his novel Ulysses for Carlo Linati , known as the Linati scheme .
