Vittorio Salmini

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vittorio Salmini (born March 12, 1832 in Venice , † June 12, 1881 in Venice) was an Italian poet .

Salmini turned to the dramatic career and initially wrote some dramas together with Paulo Fambri , of which only Il galantuomo , La rihabilitazione and I letterati had a general stage success. During the uprising in 1859, he and Fambri were captured by Austria. After returning to the fatherland from the fortress Josephstadt after the Peace of Villafranca (July 11, 1859), Salmini hardly dealt with politics anymore. He tried his luck with the popular play Santo e patrizio and achieved lasting success on the stage. Of his following dramas, which were again in a higher style, in keeping with the poet's original direction, we would like to emphasize: Lorenzino de 'Medici (1873), Maometto II (1877), based on a novella by Matteo Bandello , and Madame Roland ( 1880), which the latter work deals with the French Revolution and received extraordinary acclaim when it was performed by Italian artists in Paris . Salmini also published a poetry that characterizes the time, I figli del secolo , the modern Idyll Nini and the lyric collection Polychordon (Bologna 1878). He died in Venice on June 12, 1881 at the age of 49.
