Giuseppe Chiarini

Giuseppe Chiarini (born August 17, 1833 in Arezzo , † August 4, 1908 in Rome ) was an Italian Romance scholar, Italianist and literary critic.

life and work

Chiarini was director of the high school in Livorno from 1867 and in Rome from 1884. From 1885 to 1888 he taught modern literature at the University of Rome. From 1894 to 1901 he took on leading tasks in the national teaching administration.

Chiarini campaigned for a school promotion of law and community studies, as well as modern foreign languages, while at the same time pushing back Latin and Greek, both at school and as a prerequisite for study.

Since his youth and his friendship with Giosuè Carducci , Chiarini has worked as an editor of literary magazines and as a literary critic.
