Paolo Ferrari ( 1822 - 1889 ), Italian dramatist, was born at Modena . His numerous works, chiefly comedies, and all marked by a fresh and piquant style, are the finest product of the modern Italian drama. After producing some minor pieces, in 1852 he made his reputation as a playwright with ''Goldoni e le sue Sedici Commedie''. Among numerous later plays his comedy ''Parini e la Satira'' ( 1857 ) had considerable success. Ferrari may be regarded as a follower of Goldoni , modelling himself on the French theatrical methods. in 1860 he was appointed professor of History at Modena and afterwards at Milan. His collected plays were published in 1877 - 1880 in 14 vols. REFERENCES |
